After Action Report

In Seattle, the Clippers downed the SuperSonics 99-89. Ugly basketball, but the Clippers did just enough. Second-chance points piled up for the Clippers; fresh off a statement win, the Clippers stayed locked in. The Clippers bench chemistry carried them. SuperSonics' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Style points be damned.

What tipped it

  • SuperSonics · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Clippers · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • Clippers · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
  • Clippers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
