After Action Report

The Hornets buried the Clippers 123-101. Hornets controlled the tempo from tip to buzzer. The Hornets pushed the pace until the other side broke; Clippers' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim. The Hornets locker room is humming, and it showed. Early returns: the Hornets per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Garbage time started early.
