After Action Report
The Hornets pulled away from the Clippers 105-92. Execution down the stretch made the difference. Hornets' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; second-chance points piled up for the Hornets. The Hornets locker room is humming, and it showed. Hornets' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
