After Action Report
The Lakers rolled past the Clippers 120-97. Lakers' starting five clicked while the Clippers looked disjointed. Lakers' veteran poise eliminated the costly mistakes; Clippers' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim. Lakers' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. It was over by halftime.
What tipped it
- Lakers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Clippers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Clippers · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
