After Action Report
In Los Angeles, the Hornets squeaked past the Clippers 124-119. The Clippers had no answer for the variance gods tonight. The Hornets bent the defense out of shape from deep; Clippers' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim. Whispers of a Clippers locker-room rift aren't helping. 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 · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Clippers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
