After Action Report
The Clippers upended the Lakers 118-109. The Lakers had no answer for the variance gods tonight. Lakers' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; Lakers' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. Early returns: the Clippers per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. An upset for the books.
