After Action Report
The Clippers outlasted the Trail Blazers 117-109. Ugly basketball, but the Clippers did just enough. Clippers' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Trail Blazers came in with something to prove after a loss. The Clippers locker room is humming, and it showed. Style points be damned.
What tipped it
- Clippers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Clippers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Trail Blazers · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
