After Action Report
The Lakers buried the Clippers 125-96. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Lakers cashed in. The Lakers answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; Clippers' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim. Whispers of a Clippers locker-room rift aren't helping. Tonight's Clippers utilization choices clashed with the team identity. It was over by halftime.
What tipped it
- Clippers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- 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.
- Lakers · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
