After Action Report
The Clippers pulled away from the Hornets 132-121. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Clippers cashed in. The Clippers pushed the pace until the other side broke; the Hornets pushed the pace until the other side broke. The Clippers bench chemistry carried them.
What tipped it
- Hornets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Clippers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
