After Action Report
In Los Angeles, the Hornets upended the Clippers 131-116. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Hornets cashed in. Fresh off a statement win, the Hornets stayed locked in; Clippers' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. The Hornets bench chemistry carried them. Add it to the list of nights the favorite forgot to show up.
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.
- Hornets · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
- Hornets · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
