After Action Report

The Clippers took care of the Hornets 122-105. The Clippers got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. The Clippers pushed the pace until the other side broke; the Hornets couldn't shake the cold spell. The Clippers bench chemistry carried them.

What tipped it

  • Hornets · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
  • Hornets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
  • Clippers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
