After Action Report

The Clippers held off the Wizards 121-114. The breakneck pace played right into Clippers' hands. The Clippers owned the glass, generating extra possessions; the Clippers carried the confidence of a hot streak right into this one. The Clippers locker room is humming, and it showed. Clippers' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
