After Action Report
The Clippers ran roughshod over the Heat 132-70. The breakneck pace played right into Clippers' hands. Clippers' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Clippers played with the chip of a recent gutting loss. Whispers of a Heat locker-room rift aren't helping. Never a doubt in this one.
What tipped it
- Heat · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Heat · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Clippers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Clippers · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
