After Action Report
In Los Angeles, the Clippers ran roughshod over the Lakers 131-101. The tempo dragged the Lakers into a rhythm they couldn't survive. Clippers' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Superstar Stack delivered when it mattered for the Clippers. The Clippers locker room is humming, and it showed. Lakers' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. It was over by halftime.
What tipped it
- Clippers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Clippers · Superstar Stack Two or more 90-overall stars bend games to their will on both ends.
- Clippers · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- Clippers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Lakers · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
