After Action Report
In Los Angeles, the Hornets ran roughshod over the Clippers 109-86. Hornets' offense had its way with the Clippers. Hornets' veteran poise eliminated the costly mistakes; the Clippers couldn't shake the cold spell. Whispers of a Clippers locker-room rift aren't helping. Tonight's Clippers utilization choices clashed with the team identity. The second half turned a coin-flip into a runaway.
What tipped it
- 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.
