In front of an energized crowd of 19,370 spectators, the Clippers showcased their offensive might right from tip-off. The first quarter saw them take an early lead with a score of 33 points compared to the Grizzlies' 25. This momentum was sustained through halftime as they outscored their opponents by seven points in the second quarter.
The Clippers' efficiency on court was evident as they posted an impressive efficiency rating of 140 and dominated both ends with a total rebound count of 61. Their prowess under the basket led to them scoring more than half their points in paint, tallying up to 54. The bench also played a crucial role contributing a hefty sum of 39 points to secure this win.
Defensively, the Clippers were just as formidable; they blocked six shots and limited turnovers to just one team turnover throughout four quarters. Despite committing more personal fouls than steals — nineteen fouls against three steals — they maintained control over proceedings with disciplined play.
