After Action Report

In Los Angeles, the Hornets demolished the Clippers 106-81. The better team simply showed up tonight. The Hornets carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one; Clippers' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim. The Hornets bench chemistry carried them. Hornets' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. It was over by halftime.

What tipped it
