After Action Report
The Clippers snuck past the Lakers 105-103. The better team simply showed up tonight. Clippers' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense; Lakers' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. The Clippers bench chemistry carried them. Clippers' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
