After Action Report

The Clippers buried the Heat 126-99. The Heat had no answer for the variance gods tonight. Clippers' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; fresh off a statement win, the Clippers stayed locked in. The Clippers bench chemistry carried them. Clippers' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Never a doubt in this one.
