After Action Report

In a track meet, the Clippers took care of the Hornets 115-105. The breakneck pace played right into Clippers' hands. Clippers' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; you could feel the revenge motivation from the Clippers. The Clippers bench chemistry carried them.

What tipped it

  • Hornets · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
  • Hornets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
  • Clippers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Clippers · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
  • Clippers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
