After Action Report

The Clippers squeaked past the Timberwolves 143-142. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Clippers cashed in. Clippers' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; second-chance points piled up for the Clippers. The Clippers bench chemistry carried them. Clippers' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles.

What tipped it

  • Timberwolves · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
  • 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 · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
  • Clippers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
