After Action Report
In Los Angeles, the Clippers blew the doors off the Spurs 140-115. The tempo dragged the Spurs into a rhythm they couldn't survive. Clippers' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; Clippers' stars took over and bent the game to their will. The Clippers locker room is humming, and it showed. Tonight's Spurs utilization choices clashed with the team identity. Garbage time started early.
