After Action Report
The Clippers handled the Jazz 100-87. The Clippers won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. The Clippers owned the glass, generating extra possessions; the Clippers came in with something to prove after a loss. The Clippers locker room is humming, and it showed. The Jazz rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Survive-and-advance type win.
