After Action Report
The Suns downed the Clippers 98-81. Ugly basketball, but the Suns did just enough. The Clippers couldn't shake the cold spell; Clippers' old heads steadied the ship in the swings. The Clippers looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Clippers' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- Clippers · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Clippers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
