After Action Report

In New Orleans, the Hornets knocked off the Clippers 132-118. The breakneck pace played right into Hornets' hands. The Hornets pushed the pace until the other side broke; Clippers' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim. The Hornets rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. On paper this one shouldn't have been close — basketball had other ideas.

What tipped it

  • Clippers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Clippers · Superstar Stack Two or more 90-overall stars bend games to their will on both ends.
