After Action Report

The Hornets took care of the Clippers 111-99. Every possession went the Hornets way. The Hornets answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; Hornets' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Hornets locker room is humming, and it showed. Hornets' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles.
