After Action Report
The Clippers downed the Kings 115-97. The Clippers won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. Clippers' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; second-chance points piled up for the Clippers. The Clippers locker room is humming, and it showed. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
