After Action Report

The Clippers squeaked past the Trail Blazers 89-85. The Trail Blazers couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Clippers. The Clippers answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; the Trail Blazers came in with something to prove after a loss. The Clippers locker room is humming, and it showed. Early returns: the Clippers per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Survive-and-advance type win.
