After Action Report
The Clippers took care of the Lakers 116-101. The Clippers got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. 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.
