It was cool and I was glad to see it.PICK AND ROLLThe Hornets effectively used the pick and roll to beat the Pacers.It gets back to the same thing -- when were taking 3s when the ball hits the paint and we have the ability to go to the basket, where were very difficult to guard, Clifford said. When we have those possessions where the ball sticks a little bit or its not a good screen or not a good attack and you play around the perimeter ... then you put no pressure on the defense.UP NEXTPacers: Return home to face Philadelphia on Wednesday night, where they are 3-0 this season.Hornets: In the midst of a three-game homestand and host the Utah Jazz on Wednesday night.
