After Action Report
The Clippers demolished the Hornets 112-88. The Clippers got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. The Clippers came in with something to prove after a loss; Clippers' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Clippers bench chemistry carried them. Early returns: the Clippers per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. It was over by halftime.

- Hornets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Clippers · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- Clippers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
