The Hornets fended off the Clippers 127-121 in overtime. The Clippers had no answer for the variance gods tonight. The Hornets steamroller is in full effect right now; Hornets' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Hornets locker room is humming, and it showed. Hornets' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles.
