After Action Report
The Clippers buried the Trail Blazers 121-99. The breakneck pace played right into Clippers' hands. Clippers' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; second-chance points piled up for the Clippers. The Clippers locker room is humming, and it showed. Never a doubt in this one.
What tipped it
- Clippers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Clippers · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Clippers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Trail Blazers · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
