After Action Report
In Los Angeles, the Clippers took care of the Hornets 106-87. The Hornets couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Clippers. Clippers' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; second-chance points piled up for the Clippers. The Clippers locker room is humming, and it showed. Style points be damned.
