After loss to Lakers, Hornets turn around to face Clips

The Los Angeles Clippers' bench has started the season as one of the most productive in the NBA. It probably will be a factor again when the Clippers host the Charlotte Hornets on Monday night at Staples Center. The Clippers' bench played well Saturday, but the team still fell 130-122 to a Phoenix Suns squad playing without suspended center Deandre Ayton and guard Ricky Rubio, who sat out with a left knee contusion.
