After Action Report
The Hornets outlasted the Clippers 115-99. The Clippers had no answer for the variance gods tonight. Hornets' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Hornets are in a full-on tailspin. The Clippers rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night.
What tipped it
- Clippers · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Hornets · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- 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.
