After Action Report
The Hornets rolled past the Celtics 126-88. The Celtics had no answer for the variance gods tonight. Second-chance points piled up for the Hornets; the Celtics couldn't shake the cold spell. Garbage time started early.
What tipped it
- Hornets · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Hornets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Celtics · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
