After Action Report
The Hornets buried the Clippers 119-71. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Hornets cashed in. Hornets' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo; fresh off a statement win, the Clippers stayed locked in. The Clippers looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. The Clippers rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Never a doubt in this one.
What tipped it
- Clippers · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
- Clippers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
