After Action Report
The Clippers outlasted the Hornets 118-104. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Clippers cashed in. Fresh off a statement win, the Clippers stayed locked in; Clippers' old heads steadied the ship in the swings.
What tipped it
- Clippers · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
- Clippers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Hornets · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
