After Action Report
The Clippers buried the Trail Blazers 120-83. Clippers controlled the tempo from tip to buzzer. 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. The Trail Blazers rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. The second half turned a coin-flip into a runaway.
