After Action Report
The Clippers buried the Hornets 113-93. The breakneck pace played right into Clippers' hands. The Clippers carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one; the Clippers pushed the pace until the other side broke. The Clippers locker room is humming, and it showed. The Clippers rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Garbage time started early.
