After Action Report
The Clippers pulled away from the Trail Blazers 102-86. The Trail Blazers couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Clippers. Clippers' defenders refused to give up clean looks; the Trail Blazers bent the defense out of shape from deep. The Clippers locker room is humming, and it showed. Early returns: the Clippers per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
