After Action Report
In a track meet, the Clippers ran roughshod over the Spurs 139-97. The breakneck pace played right into Clippers' hands. Clippers' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; second-chance points piled up for the Clippers. The Clippers locker room is humming, and it showed. Never a doubt in this one.
