The Clippers, after proving that they were capable of maintaining a high level of offense for 48 minutes in this Sunday matinee game, beat the Hornets 115-90.
Los Angeles started out rushed, perhaps pressured by the pace of the top-three rated offense in the NBA. Against the Hornets’ bottom-five rated defense, however, that pace allowed the Clippers offense to convert at a point of the game when they have struggled to do so of late: early.
LaMelo Ball’s propensity to grab rebounds and orchestrate the fast break, however, continued to punish Los Angeles for their turnovers and rebounding deficiencies this afternoon.
