After Action Report

The Hornets rolled past the Clippers 144-109. Lineup balance gave the Hornets a clear synergy edge. The Hornets answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; Clippers' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim. The Clippers looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. It was over by halftime.

What tipped it

  • Hornets · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
  • 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.
