After Action Report
The Spurs upended the Clippers 126-125. Spurs torched the Clippers on the offensive end. Spurs' old heads steadied the ship in the swings; Clippers' stars took over and bent the game to their will. On paper this one shouldn't have been close — basketball had other ideas.
What tipped it
- Clippers · Superstar Stack Two or more 90-overall stars bend games to their will on both ends.
- Clippers · Catching Fire Riding a 4+ game winning streak — confidence is high.
- Clippers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Spurs · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
