After Action Report

The Clippers ran roughshod over the Mavericks 126-103. Clippers' offense had its way with the Mavericks. The Clippers answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; Clippers' defenders refused to give up clean looks. Clippers' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. One bad quarter was all it took to crack this one open.
