After Action Report
The Clippers survived the Trail Blazers 101-100. The Clippers won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. Clippers' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; Clippers' defenders refused to give up clean looks. Style points be damned.
What tipped it
- Trail Blazers · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Trail Blazers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Clippers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
