After Action Report
The Clippers blew the doors off the Hornets 122-91. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Clippers cashed in. Second-chance points piled up for the Hornets; Hornets' skid keeps deepening — heads down on both ends. The Hornets looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Hornets' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. It was over by halftime.
What tipped it
- Hornets · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Hornets · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Hornets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
