After Action Report
The Hornets shocked the Celtics 117-113. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Hornets cashed in. The Hornets are in a full-on tailspin; second-chance points piled up for the Celtics. An upset for the books.
What tipped it
- Hornets · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Hornets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Celtics · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Celtics · Superstar Stack Two or more 90-overall stars bend games to their will on both ends.
- Celtics · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- Celtics · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
