After Action Report

The Clippers ran roughshod over the Trail Blazers 123-101. The Clippers got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. The Clippers answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; the Trail Blazers carried the confidence of a hot streak right into this one. The Clippers rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. The second half turned a coin-flip into a runaway.
