After Action Report
The Clippers ran roughshod over the Heat 144-83. The Clippers got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. Clippers' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Clippers owned the glass, generating extra possessions. The Clippers bench chemistry carried them. Heat's per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Garbage time started early.
