After Action Report

The Clippers squeaked past the Trail Blazers 101-96. The tempo dragged the Trail Blazers into a rhythm they couldn't survive. Clippers' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; second-chance points piled up for the Clippers. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.

What tipped it

  • Clippers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Clippers · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • Trail Blazers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Trail Blazers · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
