After Action Report
The Clippers demolished the Hornets 131-99. The tempo dragged the Hornets into a rhythm they couldn't survive. Clippers' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Superstar Stack delivered when it mattered for the Clippers. The Clippers bench chemistry carried them. Tonight's Hornets utilization choices clashed with the team identity. Never a doubt in this one.
What tipped it
- Hornets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Clippers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Clippers · Superstar Stack Two or more 90-overall stars bend games to their will on both ends.
- Clippers · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
- Clippers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
