After Action Report
The Celtics blew the doors off the Hornets 125-90. Celtics' offense had its way with the Hornets. The Celtics answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; the Hornets played with the chip of a recent gutting loss. Early returns: the Celtics per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. It was over by halftime.
