After Action Report
The Clippers rolled past the Hornets 128-102. The Clippers got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. The Clippers ride keeps rolling — they're catching fire; the Clippers bent the defense out of shape from deep. The Clippers locker room is humming, and it showed. Early returns: the Clippers per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Garbage time started early.
