After Action Report
In New Orleans, the Clippers took care of the Hornets 128-111. The Clippers got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. The Clippers came in with something to prove after a loss; the Hornets answered the bell with a bounce-back effort. Whispers of a Hornets locker-room rift aren't helping. Clippers' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles.
