After Action Report
The Clippers ran roughshod over the Hornets 146-84. The Clippers got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. The Clippers carried the confidence of a hot streak right into this one; the Hornets pushed the pace until the other side broke. The Clippers bench chemistry carried them. Hornets' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Garbage time started early.
What tipped it
- Hornets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Clippers · Catching Fire Riding a 4+ game winning streak — confidence is high.
- Clippers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
