After Action Report
The Clippers ran roughshod over the Hornets 136-84. The Hornets had no answer for the variance gods tonight. The Clippers owned the glass, generating extra possessions; the Hornets bent the defense out of shape from deep. The Hornets looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Never a doubt in this one.
What tipped it
- Clippers · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Hornets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
