After Action Report
In New Orleans, the Hornets snuck past the Clippers 101-97. Ugly basketball, but the Hornets did just enough. Hornets' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; Hornets' veteran poise eliminated the costly mistakes. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- Hornets · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Clippers · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
