After Action Report
The Hornets upended the Clippers 112-105. The breakneck pace played right into Hornets' hands. Clippers' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; second-chance points piled up for the Clippers. On paper this one shouldn't have been close — basketball had other ideas.
What tipped it
- Clippers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Clippers · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Clippers · Superstar Stack Two or more 90-overall stars bend games to their will on both ends.
