After Action Report

The Clippers snuck past the Kings 122-117. The breakneck pace played right into Clippers' hands. The Clippers carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one; Clippers' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. The Clippers bench chemistry carried them. Early returns: the Clippers per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight.
