After Action Report
In a track meet, the Hornets snuck past the Clippers 106-103. The breakneck pace played right into Hornets' hands. Second-chance points piled up for the Hornets; the Hornets ride keeps rolling — they're catching fire. Whispers of a Clippers locker-room rift aren't helping. Survive-and-advance type win.
