After Action Report
The Clippers rolled past the Suns 122-101. Clippers' scorers couldn't be contained. Clippers' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; Clippers' stars took over and bent the game to their will. The Clippers locker room is humming, and it showed. The Suns rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Garbage time started early.
