After Action Report

The Hornets demolished the Clippers 121-92. The Hornets got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. The Hornets carried the confidence of a hot streak right into this one; the Clippers owned the glass, generating extra possessions. The Hornets locker room is humming, and it showed. Early returns: the Hornets per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. One bad quarter was all it took to crack this one open.
