After Action Report
In Los Angeles, the Clippers snuck past the SuperSonics 85-83. Ugly basketball, but the Clippers did just enough. Clippers' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; second-chance points piled up for the SuperSonics. The Clippers locker room is humming, and it showed. Tonight's SuperSonics utilization choices clashed with the team identity. Style points be damned.
What tipped it
- Clippers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Clippers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- 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.
