After Action Report
The Clippers upended the Hornets 110-103. The Clippers got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. Clippers' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; Clippers' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense. Hornets' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. On paper this one shouldn't have been close — basketball had other ideas.
