After Action Report
In New Orleans, the Hornets handled the Celtics 103-88. Ugly basketball, but the Hornets did just enough. Hornets' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Hornets answered the bell with a bounce-back effort. Early returns: the Hornets per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Style points be damned.
What tipped it
- Hornets · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Hornets · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- Celtics · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
