After Action Report
The Celtics downed the Hornets 105-88. Ugly basketball, but the Celtics did just enough. The Celtics answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; Celtics' outside barrage was a constant threat. Celtics' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Style points be damned.
