After Action Report
The Hornets rolled past the Clippers 136-107. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Hornets cashed in. Hornets' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Hornets looked unstoppable — pure Buzzsaw mode. The Hornets locker room is humming, and it showed. Hornets' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Never a doubt in this one.
What tipped it
- Hornets · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Hornets · Buzzsaw An 8+ game winning streak — they cannot be stopped (until the league catches up).
- Hornets · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Clippers · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Clippers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
