After Action Report

In New Orleans, the Hornets handled the Celtics 120-108. The Hornets got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. Hornets' defenders refused to give up clean looks; fresh off a statement win, the Celtics stayed locked in. The Hornets locker room is humming, and it showed. Hornets' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles.

What tipped it

  • Hornets · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
  • Celtics · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
