After Action Report
In New Orleans, the Hornets outlasted the Clippers 97-91. The Hornets won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. Hornets' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense. Early returns: the Hornets per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
