After Action Report
The Clippers demolished the Cavaliers 131-98. The Clippers got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. Clippers' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Clippers owned the glass, generating extra possessions. The Clippers bench chemistry carried them. Cavaliers' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Garbage time started early.
What tipped it
- Cavaliers · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- Clippers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Clippers · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Clippers · Superstar Stack Two or more 90-overall stars bend games to their will on both ends.
- Clippers · Buzzsaw An 8+ game winning streak — they cannot be stopped (until the league catches up).
- Clippers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
