After Action Report
In Los Angeles, the Clippers buried the Spurs 117-78. The Clippers got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. The Clippers owned the glass, generating extra possessions; Spurs' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense. The Spurs looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. The Spurs rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Garbage time started early.
What tipped it
- Clippers · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Spurs · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
