After Action Report

The Clippers stunned the Hornets 124-114. The Hornets had no answer for the variance gods tonight. Hornets' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Hornets couldn't shake the cold spell. The Clippers bench chemistry carried them. The Clippers 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.

What tipped it

  • Hornets · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Hornets · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
  • Hornets · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
  • Clippers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
