After Action Report

The Clippers demolished the Mavericks 126-97. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Clippers cashed in. Clippers' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo; the Mavericks came in with something to prove after a loss. The Clippers locker room is humming, and it showed. Mavericks' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. It was over by halftime.

What tipped it

  • Clippers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
  • Mavericks · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
