After Action Report
The Clippers squeaked past the Hornets 101-100. The Clippers won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. The Clippers came in with something to prove after a loss; Clippers' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense. The Clippers locker room is humming, and it showed. Clippers' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
