After Action Report
In a track meet, the Celtics survived the Hornets 124-123. The breakneck pace played right into Celtics' hands. Celtics' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; fresh off a statement win, the Celtics stayed locked in. The Celtics bench chemistry carried them. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
