After Action Report

The Hornets fended off the Clippers 109-101. The better team simply showed up tonight. Hornets' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; Hornets' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense. The Clippers looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. The Clippers rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night.

What tipped it

  • Hornets · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Clippers · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
  • Clippers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
