The Clintons canceled their NJ trip to do about 30 appearances in the last few days, a very heavy schedule, because they knew they were in trouble... Consistent polling at near-tie that greatly undersampled younger cell phone users. She knew she wasn't just going to lose narrowly, that's why they both had to hit CA with everything they had. Because a big loss would have killed her narrative and secured Bernie's.
