Malik Monk scored 24 points in 21 minutes off the bench and Jeremy Lamb scored 16 points in his return from injury, but it wasn’t enough to overcome the Clippers hot shooting as the Hornets fell, 128-109.
Jeremy Lamb came out like a WWE wrestler that just got tagged into a match in dramatic fashion after their partner took a beating. He scored eight points and corralled three rebounds in his first seven minutes of action since returning from a hamstring injury. The two teams battled to a stalemate for the first eight minutes of the game before a 12-3 Clippers run gave them a nine point lead at the first intermission.
