After Action Report
The Clippers survived the Pistons 101-98. The Clippers won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. The Clippers carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one; Pistons' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. The Clippers bench chemistry carried them. Clippers' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Style points be damned.
