After Action Report
In Los Angeles, the Clippers blew the doors off the Timberwolves 136-108. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Clippers cashed in. 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. The Timberwolves rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. It was over by halftime.
What tipped it
- Clippers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.

- Clippers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.

- Timberwolves · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
