After Action Report
The Hornets upended the Celtics 113-103. The Hornets got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. The Hornets carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one; the Superstar Stack delivered when it mattered for the Celtics. The Hornets bench chemistry carried them. Hornets' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. On paper this one shouldn't have been close — basketball had other ideas.
