After Action Report

In Los Angeles, the Hornets survived the Clippers 108-104. The better team simply showed up tonight. Shots just aren't falling for the Clippers lately; Clippers' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. The Hornets bench chemistry carried them. Clippers' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan.

What tipped it

  • Clippers · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
  • Hornets · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
