After Action Report
In Boston, the Celtics squeaked past the Hornets 127-124. The Celtics got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. The Celtics ride keeps rolling — they're catching fire; the Celtics bent the defense out of shape from deep. The Celtics rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift.
What tipped it
- Celtics · Catching Fire Riding a 4+ game winning streak — confidence is high.
- Hornets · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
