After Action Report
In New Orleans, the Hornets handled the Clippers 103-90. Hornets torched the Clippers on the offensive end. Clippers' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; Clippers' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Hornets locker room is humming, and it showed. Hornets' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Style points be damned.
What tipped it
- Hornets · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Clippers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
