After Action Report
The Hornets survived the Celtics 96-94. The Hornets won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. The Celtics couldn't shake the cold spell. The Hornets locker room is humming, and it showed. Tonight's Celtics utilization choices clashed with the team identity. Style points be damned.
What tipped it
- Hornets · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Celtics · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Celtics · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
