The Hornets edged the Clippers 119-113. The Hornets got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. Fresh off a statement win, the Hornets stayed locked in; Hornets' outside barrage was a constant threat. The Hornets locker room is humming, and it showed. Hornets' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles.
