After Action Report
The Clippers ran roughshod over the Hawks 140-88. The Clippers got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. Hawks' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; second-chance points piled up for the Hawks. Never a doubt in this one.
What tipped it
- Clippers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Hawks · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Hawks · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Hawks · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- Hawks · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
