After Action Report
The Hornets shocked the Clippers 119-117. The Hornets got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. Hornets' outside barrage was a constant threat; Clippers' shot-blockers turned the paint into a no-fly zone. Hornets' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. On paper this one shouldn't have been close — basketball had other ideas.
What tipped it
- Clippers · Block Party Multiple shot-blockers turn the paint into a no-fly zone.
- Clippers · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
