After Action Report

The Clippers held off the Suns 111-102. The better team simply showed up tonight. The Clippers answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; Clippers' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Clippers bench chemistry carried them. Clippers' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles.
