After Action Report

In Dallas, the Clippers ran roughshod over the Mavericks 109-87. Execution down the stretch made the difference. The Clippers carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one; Clippers' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Clippers bench chemistry carried them. The Clippers rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. One bad quarter was all it took to crack this one open.
