After Action Report
The Clippers buried the Hornets 128-108. The Hornets had no answer for the variance gods tonight. Clippers' outside barrage was a constant threat; Hornets' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim. The Clippers locker room is humming, and it showed. Early returns: the Clippers per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Never a doubt in this one.
