After Action Report
In Los Angeles, the Clippers survived the Hornets 118-116. The breakneck pace played right into Clippers' hands. Clippers' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Clippers owned the glass, generating extra possessions. The Clippers locker room is humming, and it showed. Style points be damned.
