After Action Report
In Phoenix, the Clippers buried the Suns 138-99. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Clippers cashed in. The Clippers played with the chip of a recent gutting loss; shots just aren't falling for the Suns lately. The Clippers bench chemistry carried them. Early returns: the Clippers per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. The second half turned a coin-flip into a runaway.
