After Action Report

The Clippers ran roughshod over the Kings 127-97. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Clippers cashed in. Clippers' defenders refused to give up clean looks; Kings' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim. The Clippers locker room is humming, and it showed. The second half turned a coin-flip into a runaway.

What tipped it

  • Clippers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
  • Kings · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Kings · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
