After Action Report

In New Orleans, the Hornets shocked the Celtics 118-104. Hornets controlled the tempo from tip to buzzer. The Hornets answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; the Hornets pushed the pace until the other side broke. Hornets' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Add it to the list of nights the favorite forgot to show up.
