After Action Report
The Hornets outlasted the Clippers 117-101. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Hornets cashed in. Hornets' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; fresh off a statement win, the Hornets stayed locked in. The Clippers looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Tonight's Clippers utilization choices clashed with the team identity.
What tipped it
- Hornets · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Hornets · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
- 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.
