After Action Report
The Clippers snuck past the Trail Blazers 105-103. The Trail Blazers couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Clippers. The Clippers played with the chip of a recent gutting loss; the Trail Blazers bent the defense out of shape from deep. Clippers' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Style points be damned.
