After Action Report
In Los Angeles, the Clippers snuck past the Hornets 99-98. The Hornets couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Clippers. Clippers' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Clippers answered the bell with a bounce-back effort. 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 · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- Hornets · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Hornets · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
