After Action Report
The Clippers survived the Mavericks 104-101. Ugly basketball, but the Clippers did just enough. The Clippers owned the glass, generating extra possessions; the Clippers answered the bell with a bounce-back effort. The Clippers locker room is humming, and it showed. The Clippers rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Style points be damned.
