After Action Report

The Clippers ran roughshod over the Jazz 112-74. Every possession went the Clippers way. The Clippers came in with something to prove after a loss; Clippers' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense. The Clippers locker room is humming, and it showed. Clippers' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Garbage time started early.

What tipped it

  • Clippers · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
  • Clippers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
  • Jazz · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
  • Jazz · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
