After Action Report
In Los Angeles, the Clippers buried the Lakers 138-111. Clippers controlled the tempo from tip to buzzer. Clippers' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; Clippers' stars took over and bent the game to their will. The Clippers locker room is humming, and it showed. Never a doubt in this one.
What tipped it
- Clippers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Clippers · Superstar Stack Two or more 90-overall stars bend games to their will on both ends.
- Clippers · Buzzsaw An 8+ game winning streak — they cannot be stopped (until the league catches up).
- Clippers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Lakers · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Lakers · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
