After Action Report
In Boston, the Hornets survived the Celtics 107-102. Hornets' scorers couldn't be contained. Fresh off a statement win, the Hornets stayed locked in; Hornets' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Hornets bench chemistry carried them. The Hornets rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
