After Action Report
The Hornets handled the Celtics 123-109. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Hornets cashed in. Celtics' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim.
What tipped it
- Hornets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Celtics · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Celtics · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
