After Action Report
In a track meet, the Clippers buried the Hornets 123-95. The breakneck pace played right into Clippers' hands. The Hornets answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; the Hornets pushed the pace until the other side broke. The Clippers locker room is humming, and it showed. Hornets' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. The second half turned a coin-flip into a runaway.
