The Clippers blew the doors off the Spurs 135-105. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Clippers cashed in. The Clippers owned the glass, generating extra possessions; Clippers' outside barrage was a constant threat. The Clippers locker room is humming, and it showed. The Clippers rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. It broke open after the break.
