After Action Report
In Los Angeles, the Hornets blew the doors off the Clippers 136-104. The Clippers had no answer for the variance gods tonight. Hornets' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Hornets couldn't shake the cold spell. Whispers of a Clippers locker-room rift aren't helping. Garbage time started early.
What tipped it
- 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.
- 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.
