After Action Report

The Clippers fended off the Lakers 132-124. The breakneck pace played right into Clippers' hands. The Clippers carried the confidence of a hot streak right into this one; the Clippers pushed the pace until the other side broke. The Clippers locker room is humming, and it showed. Clippers' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles.
