After Action Report
In a track meet, the Clippers survived the Suns 112-107. The Clippers won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. Clippers' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Clippers owned the glass, generating extra possessions. The Clippers locker room is humming, and it showed. Clippers' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Style points be damned.
