After Action Report
The Hornets pulled away from the Clippers 109-95. The Clippers couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Hornets. The Clippers couldn't shake the cold spell; Clippers' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense. The Hornets locker room is humming, and it showed. Early returns: the Hornets per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Style points be damned.
What tipped it
- Hornets · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Clippers · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Clippers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
