After Action Report
The Hornets downed the Celtics 121-107. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Hornets cashed in. Fresh off a statement win, the Celtics stayed locked in; the Celtics bent the defense out of shape from deep. 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.
