After Action Report
The Clippers ran roughshod over the Jazz 118-78. Clippers' scorers couldn't be contained. Clippers' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Superstar Stack delivered when it mattered for the Clippers. The Clippers locker room is humming, and it showed. Jazz's per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. It was over by halftime.
What tipped it
- Clippers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Clippers · Superstar Stack Two or more 90-overall stars bend games to their will on both ends.
- Clippers · Buzzsaw An 8+ game winning streak — they cannot be stopped (until the league catches up).
- Clippers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Jazz · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Jazz · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
