After Action Report
In Boston, the Celtics took care of the Hornets 112-100. Celtics' offense had its way with the Hornets. Celtics' defenders refused to give up clean looks; Hornets' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. The Celtics locker room is humming, and it showed. Celtics' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Style points be damned.
What tipped it
- Celtics · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Hornets · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Hornets · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
