After Action Report
The Hornets held off the Clippers 120-114. The tempo dragged the Clippers into a rhythm they couldn't survive. Hornets' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo; Clippers' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. Early returns: the Hornets per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight.
What tipped it
- Clippers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Clippers · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
