After Action Report
The Celtics ran roughshod over the Hornets 120-92. Execution down the stretch made the difference. The Celtics answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; the Hornets are in a full-on tailspin. Celtics' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. One bad quarter was all it took to crack this one open.
