After Action Report

The Hornets rolled past the Clippers 109-89. Hornets' scorers couldn't be contained. The Hornets came in with something to prove after a loss; the Hornets pushed the pace until the other side broke. The Hornets bench chemistry carried them. One bad quarter was all it took to crack this one open.

What tipped it

  • Clippers · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
  • Clippers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
  • Hornets · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
  • Hornets · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
