After Action Report

In a track meet, the Hornets upended the Clippers 105-100. The breakneck pace played right into Hornets' hands. Hornets' veteran poise eliminated the costly mistakes; Clippers' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. An upset for the books.

What tipped it

  • Hornets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
  • 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 · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
  • Clippers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
