After Action Report
The Hornets survived the Celtics 103-98 in overtime. The Hornets won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. Hornets' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Hornets carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one. Celtics' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- Hornets · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Hornets · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
