After Action Report

The Clippers snuck past the Lakers 106-101. Ugly basketball, but the Clippers did just enough. The Clippers owned the glass, generating extra possessions; the Clippers sent shots into the fifth row all night. The Clippers locker room is humming, and it showed. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.

What tipped it

  • Clippers · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • Clippers · Block Party Multiple shot-blockers turn the paint into a no-fly zone.
  • Clippers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
  • Lakers · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
