After Action Report
In Los Angeles, the Clippers squeaked past the Hornets 107-106. The Hornets couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Clippers. The Clippers bent the defense out of shape from deep; Hornets' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim. The Clippers locker room is humming, and it showed. The Clippers rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Style points be damned.
