After Action Report
The Clippers buried the Mavericks 114-93. Clippers' scorers couldn't be contained. Clippers' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; second-chance points piled up for the Clippers. The Clippers locker room is humming, and it showed. The Mavericks rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. It broke open after the break.
What tipped it
- Clippers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Clippers · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Clippers · Superstar Stack Two or more 90-overall stars bend games to their will on both ends.
- Clippers · Buzzsaw An 8+ game winning streak — they cannot be stopped (until the league catches up).
- Clippers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Mavericks · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
