After Action Report
The Hornets blew the doors off the Clippers 123-101. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Hornets cashed in. You could feel the revenge motivation from the Hornets; Hornets' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Hornets locker room is humming, and it showed. Early returns: the Hornets per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. It was over by halftime.
