After Action Report
The Clippers held off the Spurs 123-117. The tempo dragged the Spurs into a rhythm they couldn't survive. The Clippers are in a full-on tailspin; Spurs' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim.
What tipped it
- Clippers · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Clippers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Spurs · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Spurs · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
- Spurs · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
