After Action Report
In New Orleans, the Hornets downed the Celtics 87-77. Ugly basketball, but the Hornets did just enough. Shots just aren't falling for the Hornets lately; Hornets' old heads steadied the ship in the swings. Celtics' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Survive-and-advance type win.
