Second-chance points piled up for the Clippers; the Clippers answered the bell with a bounce-back effort. The Clippers locker room is humming, and it showed. Clippers' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. The second half turned a coin-flip into a runaway.
