After Action Report
The Hornets buried the Celtics 135-107. Hornets torched the Celtics on the offensive end. Fresh off a statement win, the Hornets stayed locked in; Celtics' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim. The Hornets locker room is humming, and it showed. Celtics' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. It broke open after the break.

- Hornets · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
