After Action Report

The Clippers snuck past the SuperSonics 118-114. Every possession went the Clippers way. Clippers' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Clippers answered the bell with a bounce-back effort. The Clippers bench chemistry carried them. The SuperSonics rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night.

What tipped it

  • SuperSonics · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • SuperSonics · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
  • SuperSonics · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
  • Clippers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Clippers · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
  • Clippers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
