After Action Report

The Celtics demolished the Hornets 119-89. Celtics torched the Hornets on the offensive end. Second-chance points piled up for the Celtics; the Celtics came in with something to prove after a loss. The Celtics locker room is humming, and it showed. Hornets' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. It was over by halftime.

What tipped it

  • Celtics · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • Celtics · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
  • Celtics · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
  • Hornets · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
  • Hornets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
