After Action Report
The Clippers buried the Hornets 136-105. The Clippers got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. Clippers' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; second-chance points piled up for the Clippers. The Clippers bench chemistry carried them. It broke open after the break.
What tipped it

- Clippers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Clippers · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Clippers · Superstar Stack Two or more 90-overall stars bend games to their will on both ends.
- Clippers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
