After Action Report
In New Orleans, the Clippers fended off the Hornets 107-98. Clippers' scorers couldn't be contained. The Clippers owned the glass, generating extra possessions; the Clippers answered the bell with a bounce-back effort. Whispers of a Hornets locker-room rift aren't helping.
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 · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Clippers · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
