After Action Report
The Clippers snuck past the Cavaliers 89-85. The Cavaliers couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Clippers. The Clippers came in with something to prove after a loss; the Cavaliers played with the chip of a recent gutting loss. Early returns: the Clippers per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Style points be damned.
What tipped it
- Cavaliers · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
- Clippers · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
