The Clippers rolled past the Hornets 131-101. Clippers' offense had its way with the Hornets. The Clippers owned the glass, generating extra possessions; the Clippers carried the confidence of a hot streak right into this one. The Clippers bench chemistry carried them. The Clippers rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. It was over by halftime.
