After Action Report
In a track meet, the Clippers squeaked past the Cavaliers 126-124. The breakneck pace played right into Clippers' hands. Clippers' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; Clippers' stars took over and bent the game to their will. The Clippers bench chemistry carried them. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- Cavaliers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Clippers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Clippers · Superstar Stack Two or more 90-overall stars bend games to their will on both ends.
- Clippers · Buzzsaw An 8+ game winning streak — they cannot be stopped (until the league catches up).
- Clippers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
