After Action Report
The Clippers pulled away from the Lakers 117-101. The breakneck pace played right into Clippers' hands. The Clippers owned the glass, generating extra possessions; the Lakers couldn't shake the cold spell. Whispers of a Lakers locker-room rift aren't helping. The Lakers rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Style points be damned.
What tipped it
- Lakers · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Lakers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Clippers · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
