After Action Report
The Clippers knocked off the Knicks 136-121. The tempo dragged the Knicks into a rhythm they couldn't survive. The Clippers carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one; Knicks' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. The Clippers locker room is humming, and it showed. Early returns: the Clippers per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. On paper this one shouldn't have been close — basketball had other ideas.
