After Action Report
In New Orleans, the Celtics buried the Hornets 139-112. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Celtics cashed in. Celtics' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Celtics pushed the pace until the other side broke. The Celtics bench chemistry carried them. Hornets' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Never a doubt in this one.
What tipped it
- Hornets · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- Celtics · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Celtics · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
