After Action Report

The Clippers buried the Hornets 118-84. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Clippers cashed in. Clippers' defenders refused to give up clean looks; the Hornets pushed the pace until the other side broke. The Clippers bench chemistry carried them. The Clippers rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. It was over by halftime.

What tipped it

  • Clippers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
