After Action Report
The Mavericks outlasted the Clippers 103-90. Execution down the stretch made the difference. The Clippers owned the glass, generating extra possessions; the Clippers pushed the pace until the other side broke. Whispers of a Clippers locker-room rift aren't helping. Mavericks' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- Clippers · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Clippers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
