After Action Report

In Los Angeles, the Clippers shocked the Suns 118-117. Clippers controlled the tempo from tip to buzzer. Clippers' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo; Suns' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. The Clippers rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Add it to the list of nights the favorite forgot to show up.

What tipped it

  • Suns · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Suns · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
