After Action Report

The Clippers buried the Lakers 131-85. Clippers' offense had its way with the Lakers. Second-chance points piled up for the Clippers; the Lakers pushed the pace until the other side broke. The Clippers locker room is humming, and it showed. Early returns: the Clippers per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Never a doubt in this one.

What tipped it

  • Clippers · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • Clippers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
