After Action Report
The Clippers survived the Suns 96-95. Clippers' scorers couldn't be contained. Suns' veteran poise eliminated the costly mistakes. The Clippers bench chemistry carried them. The Suns rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Survive-and-advance type win.
What tipped it
- Suns · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Clippers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
