After Action Report
The Clippers stunned the Hornets 144-120. The Hornets had no answer for the variance gods tonight. Hornets' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Hornets answered the bell with a bounce-back effort. On paper this one shouldn't have been close — basketball had other ideas.
What tipped it
- Hornets · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- 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.
