After Action Report
In New Orleans, the Hornets demolished the Celtics 144-121. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Hornets cashed in. Hornets' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; Hornets' stars took over and bent the game to their will. The Hornets locker room is humming, and it showed. Never a doubt in this one.
