After Action Report
The Clippers rolled past the Hornets 112-86. The Clippers got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. The Clippers came in with something to prove after a loss; Clippers' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense. Whispers of a Hornets locker-room rift aren't helping. The Hornets rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. It was over by halftime.
What tipped it
- Hornets · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Hornets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Clippers · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
