After Action Report

The Clippers snuck past the Hornets 118-117 in overtime. The Hornets had no answer for the variance gods tonight. The Clippers couldn't shake the cold spell; second-chance points piled up for the Hornets. Clippers' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles.

What tipped it

  • Hornets · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • Hornets · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
  • Clippers · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
