After Action Report
In Boston, the Celtics pulled away from the Hornets 135-119. Celtics' scorers couldn't be contained. Celtics' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo; Hornets' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense. Celtics' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles.
