After Action Report
In Los Angeles, the Clippers blew the doors off the Hornets 120-94. The breakneck pace played right into Clippers' hands. Clippers' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Superstar Stack delivered when it mattered for the Clippers. The Clippers locker room is humming, and it showed. The Hornets rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. It broke open after the break.
What tipped it
- Clippers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Clippers · Superstar Stack Two or more 90-overall stars bend games to their will on both ends.
- Clippers · Buzzsaw An 8+ game winning streak — they cannot be stopped (until the league catches up).
- Clippers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Hornets · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
