After Action Report

The Hornets ran roughshod over the Celtics 119-95. The Celtics had no answer for the variance gods tonight. Hornets' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; Hornets' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. The Hornets bench chemistry carried them. It was over by halftime.

What tipped it

  • Celtics · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • Hornets · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Hornets · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
