After Action Report
In a track meet, the Clippers pulled away from the Trail Blazers 117-102. Ugly basketball, but the Clippers did just enough. Clippers' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; Clippers' stars took over and bent the game to their will. The Clippers locker room is humming, and it showed. Survive-and-advance type win.
