After Action Report

The Hornets blew the doors off the Clippers 132-111. Hornets' offense had its way with the Clippers. Hornets' old heads steadied the ship in the swings; second-chance points piled up for the Clippers. The Hornets locker room is humming, and it showed. Tonight's Clippers utilization choices clashed with the team identity. One bad quarter was all it took to crack this one open.

What tipped it

  • Hornets · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
  • Clippers · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • Clippers · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
