After Action Report
In a track meet, the Hornets squeaked past the Celtics 113-109. The Hornets got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. Hornets' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; shots just aren't falling for the Hornets lately.
What tipped it
- Celtics · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
- Hornets · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Hornets · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Hornets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
