After Action Report
The Hornets knocked off the Clippers 139-129. Hornets' offense had its way with the Clippers. The Hornets carried the confidence of a hot streak right into this one; Clippers' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. The Hornets bench chemistry carried them. The Hornets rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. On paper this one shouldn't have been close — basketball had other ideas.
