After Action Report

The Clippers outlasted the Spurs 117-101. The Spurs couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Clippers. Clippers' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Superstar Stack delivered when it mattered for the Clippers. The Clippers bench chemistry carried them. The Spurs rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Style points be damned.

What tipped it

  • Spurs · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
  • Clippers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Clippers · Superstar Stack Two or more 90-overall stars bend games to their will on both ends.
  • Clippers · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
  • Clippers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
