After Action Report

In Phoenix, the Clippers edged the Suns 104-97. Every possession went the Clippers way. Clippers' defenders refused to give up clean looks; Suns' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. The Clippers bench chemistry carried them. Early returns: the Clippers per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight.
