After Action Report
In Los Angeles, the Hornets squeaked past the Clippers 117-113. The tempo dragged the Clippers into a rhythm they couldn't survive. Fresh off a statement win, the Hornets stayed locked in; the Hornets pushed the pace until the other side broke. Clippers' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan.
What tipped it
- Clippers · Block Party Multiple shot-blockers turn the paint into a no-fly zone.
- Hornets · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
