After Action Report
The Hornets upended the Clippers 120-110. The tempo dragged the Clippers into a rhythm they couldn't survive. The Hornets played with the chip of a recent gutting loss; the Hornets pushed the pace until the other side broke. The Hornets rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. On paper this one shouldn't have been close — basketball had other ideas.
What tipped it
- Clippers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Clippers · Catching Fire Riding a 4+ game winning streak — confidence is high.
- Clippers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Hornets · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
