After Action Report

In a track meet, the Clippers outlasted the Trail Blazers 105-98. Clippers controlled the tempo from tip to buzzer. Clippers' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; second-chance points piled up for the Trail Blazers. The Clippers locker room is humming, and it showed. Style points be damned.

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.
  • Trail Blazers · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
