After Action Report

The Clippers squeaked past the Spurs 116-112 in overtime. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Clippers cashed in. The Clippers carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one; Clippers' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Clippers locker room is humming, and it showed. Early returns: the Clippers per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight.
