After Action Report

The Clippers buried the Suns 137-81. The Clippers got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. The Clippers looked unstoppable — pure Buzzsaw mode; the Clippers bent the defense out of shape from deep. The Clippers locker room is humming, and it showed. Tonight's Suns utilization choices clashed with the team identity. Never a doubt in this one.

What tipped it

  • Clippers · Buzzsaw An 8+ game winning streak — they cannot be stopped (until the league catches up).
  • Clippers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
  • Suns · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
