After Action Report

The Clippers demolished the Kings 118-84. The breakneck pace played right into Clippers' hands. The Clippers owned the glass, generating extra possessions; the Clippers carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one. The Clippers locker room is humming, and it showed. Kings' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Never a doubt in this one.
