After Action Report
In New Orleans, the Hornets ran roughshod over the Clippers 128-104. The Hornets got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. Hornets' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; you could feel the revenge motivation from the Hornets. The Hornets locker room is humming, and it showed. Tonight's Clippers utilization choices clashed with the team identity. Never a doubt in this one.
What tipped it
- Hornets · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Hornets · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
- Hornets · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Clippers · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Clippers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
