After Action Report
In Los Angeles, the Clippers shocked the Hornets 102-96. Execution down the stretch made the difference. Clippers' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; Clippers' defenders refused to give up clean looks. Hornets' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. On paper this one shouldn't have been close — basketball had other ideas.
What tipped it
- Clippers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Hornets · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Hornets · Superstar Stack Two or more 90-overall stars bend games to their will on both ends.
- Hornets · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- Hornets · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
