After Action Report
The Hornets outlasted the Celtics 119-110. The breakneck pace played right into Hornets' hands. Hornets' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Hornets answered the bell with a bounce-back effort. Hornets' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
