After Action Report
In Los Angeles, the Hornets took care of the Clippers 111-92. Execution down the stretch made the difference. The Hornets ride keeps rolling — they're catching fire; the Clippers owned the glass, generating extra possessions. Whispers of a Clippers locker-room rift aren't helping. Early returns: the Hornets per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight.
