After Action Report

The Clippers squeaked past the Lakers 99-98. Execution down the stretch made the difference. Clippers' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; second-chance points piled up for the Lakers. The Clippers rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Style points be damned.

What tipped it

  • Clippers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Lakers · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
