After Action Report
The Hornets squeaked past the Clippers 92-90. The better team simply showed up tonight. The Hornets pushed the pace until the other side broke; shots just aren't falling for the Clippers lately. Whispers of a Clippers locker-room rift aren't helping. Tonight's Clippers utilization choices clashed with the team identity. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- Clippers · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Clippers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
