After Action Report
The Hornets knocked off the Celtics 128-102. The Celtics had no answer for the variance gods tonight. Shots just aren't falling for the Hornets lately; the Hornets bent the defense out of shape from deep. The Hornets rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. An upset for the books.
