After Action Report
The Celtics outlasted the Hornets 103-96. Ugly basketball, but the Celtics did just enough. Second-chance points piled up for the Celtics; the Superstar Stack delivered when it mattered for the Celtics. The Celtics bench chemistry carried them. Early returns: the Celtics per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
