After Action Report
In Los Angeles, the Clippers buried the Hawks 115-90. The Clippers won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. Clippers' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Superstar Stack delivered when it mattered for the Clippers. The Clippers locker room is humming, and it showed. Tonight's Hawks utilization choices clashed with the team identity. One bad quarter was all it took to crack this one open.

- 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 · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Hawks · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Hawks · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Hawks · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
