After Action Report

The Clippers survived the Hornets 111-110. Clippers torched the Hornets on the offensive end. The Clippers carried the confidence of a hot streak right into this one; Clippers' old heads steadied the ship in the swings. The Clippers locker room is humming, and it showed. Early returns: the Clippers per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
