After Action Report
The Clippers buried the Trail Blazers 119-97. The Trail Blazers had no answer for the variance gods tonight. The Trail Blazers couldn't shake the cold spell. The Clippers bench chemistry carried them. Clippers' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. It broke open after the break.
What tipped it
- Trail Blazers · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Trail Blazers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Clippers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
