After Action Report
The Clippers blew the doors off the Trail Blazers 135-111. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Clippers cashed in. Second-chance points piled up for the Clippers; the Clippers pushed the pace until the other side broke. The Clippers locker room is humming, and it showed. Tonight's Trail Blazers utilization choices clashed with the team identity. It was over by halftime.
