After Action Report
In Los Angeles, the Clippers snuck past the Pistons 90-89. The Clippers won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. Second-chance points piled up for the Clippers; Clippers' outside barrage was a constant threat. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- Clippers · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Clippers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Pistons · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
