After Action Report
The Hornets squeaked past the Celtics 117-112. Hornets' scorers couldn't be contained. The Hornets came in with something to prove after a loss; the Celtics answered the bell with a bounce-back effort. The Hornets rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
