After Action Report
The Clippers snuck past the Hornets 104-101. The Hornets couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Clippers. Clippers' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Hornets owned the glass, generating extra possessions. The Clippers locker room is humming, and it showed. The Clippers rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
