After Action Report

The Clippers squeaked past the Trail Blazers 112-107. The Trail Blazers had no answer for the variance gods tonight. Shots just aren't falling for the Clippers lately; Clippers' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense. The Trail Blazers rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night.

What tipped it

  • Clippers · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
  • Clippers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
  • Trail Blazers · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
