After Action Report
The Celtics buried the Hornets 140-101. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Celtics cashed in. Shots just aren't falling for the Hornets lately; Hornets' outside barrage was a constant threat. It was over by halftime.
What tipped it
- Celtics · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Hornets · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
