After Action Report
In Los Angeles, the Clippers survived the Lakers 105-102. Clippers controlled the tempo from tip to buzzer. Clippers' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Clippers owned the glass, generating extra possessions. Whispers of a Lakers locker-room rift aren't helping. Tonight's Lakers utilization choices clashed with the team identity. Style points be damned.
