After Action Report

In Los Angeles, the Clippers pulled away from the Suns 113-100. The Suns couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Clippers. The Clippers played with the chip of a recent gutting loss; the Suns played with the chip of a recent gutting loss. The Clippers locker room is humming, and it showed. Suns' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
