After Action Report
The Celtics snuck past the Hornets 127-123 in overtime. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Celtics cashed in. The Celtics answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; the Hornets played with the chip of a recent gutting loss. Hornets' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan.
What tipped it
- Hornets · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
- Celtics · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
