After Action Report
The Clippers squeaked past the Hornets 113-112. Clippers controlled the tempo from tip to buzzer. Clippers' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; Clippers' stars took over and bent the game to their will. The Clippers bench chemistry carried them. Hornets' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
