After Action Report
The Hornets survived the Clippers 105-102. Hornets' starting five clicked while the Clippers looked disjointed. Clippers' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Clippers are in a full-on tailspin. Whispers of a Clippers locker-room rift aren't helping. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- Clippers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Clippers · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Clippers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
