After Action Report
The Celtics survived the Hornets 107-103. Every possession went the Celtics way. The Celtics owned the glass, generating extra possessions; the Celtics carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one. The Celtics bench chemistry carried them. The Celtics rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
