After Action Report
The Hornets knocked off the Clippers 125-114. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Hornets cashed in. The Hornets answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; the Hornets bent the defense out of shape from deep. On paper this one shouldn't have been close — basketball had other ideas.
