After Action Report

The Hornets took care of the Clippers 127-111. The Hornets got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. The Hornets came in with something to prove after a loss; Hornets' veteran poise eliminated the costly mistakes. The Clippers looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger.

What tipped it

  • Hornets · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
  • Clippers · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
  • Clippers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
