After Action Report
In New Orleans, the Clippers demolished the Hornets 119-90. Clippers torched the Hornets on the offensive end. Clippers' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; Hornets' outside barrage was a constant threat. The Clippers bench chemistry carried them. The Hornets rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Garbage time started early.
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 · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
