After Action Report
The Hornets upended the Clippers 111-109. The better team simply showed up tonight. Hornets' defenders refused to give up clean looks; Clippers' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim. Hornets' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. 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 · Superstar Stack Two or more 90-overall stars bend games to their will on both ends.
