After Action Report

In New Orleans, the Clippers downed the Hornets 111-95. The better team simply showed up tonight. The Clippers came in with something to prove after a loss; Clippers' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense. The Clippers bench chemistry carried them. The Clippers rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift.

What tipped it

  • Hornets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
  • Clippers · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
  • Clippers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
