After Action Report
The Hornets stunned the Clippers 113-112. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Hornets cashed in. Shots just aren't falling for the Hornets lately; Clippers' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. The Hornets rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. An upset for the books.
