After Action Report
The Clippers handled the Hornets 101-87. The tempo dragged the Hornets into a rhythm they couldn't survive. Clippers' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Superstar Stack delivered when it mattered for the Clippers. The Clippers bench chemistry carried them. The Hornets rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- Hornets · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Hornets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Clippers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Clippers · Superstar Stack Two or more 90-overall stars bend games to their will on both ends.
- Clippers · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- Clippers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
