After Action Report
In a track meet, the Clippers pulled away from the Kings 131-116. The tempo dragged the Kings into a rhythm they couldn't survive. Clippers' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; second-chance points piled up for the Clippers. The Kings rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night.
