After Action Report
In a track meet, the Hornets upended the Clippers 117-114. The tempo dragged the Clippers into a rhythm they couldn't survive. The Hornets pushed the pace until the other side broke; Clippers' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim. The Hornets rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Add it to the list of nights the favorite forgot to show up.
What tipped it
- Clippers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Clippers · Superstar Stack Two or more 90-overall stars bend games to their will on both ends.
- Clippers · Buzzsaw An 8+ game winning streak — they cannot be stopped (until the league catches up).
- Clippers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
