After Action Report
In Los Angeles, the Clippers handled the Jazz 102-92. The Jazz couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Clippers. The Clippers played with the chip of a recent gutting loss; Clippers' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Clippers locker room is humming, and it showed. Style points be damned.
What tipped it
- Clippers · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
- Clippers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Jazz · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
