TOOTING OUR OWN HORNetS

Lots of talk about who's Bench, who should start,
Tonight, same: AB, Zeller, Bass, Turner and Smart.
Cs are in Charlotte, and must play great,
As we fight for Banner...I mean...Seed #8.

Z. Bro, Cody (shoulder) will not play tonight.
Isaiah says change! Be the first to bring the fight!
Cs a better defensive start, some offense, too,
Which, against the Clips, weren't expected to do.

LOVE CROWDER! First two possessions in a row.
Hornets' scoring from Williams-not Marvin, but Mo.
Cs' early 11 point lead went down to...a tie,
CROWDER FOR THREE! Wallace still a tough guy.

Hornets 4 shots at the buzzer, missed--phew.
On 55% shooting, Cs up 2 start Q2.
Oh, Mo! ...Jerebko hook! THOMAS FOR THREE!
OLYNYK FOR THREE! SMART FOR THREE!

Wow, Wallace! Smart is scoring tonight!
Bismack Biyombo, a great name to...write.
AB to Wallace (7 years a Bobcat), alley-oop!
Cs a 14-2 run, an engaged, energized group!

Zeller's Parents' book: "Raising Boys the Zeller Way,"
Three 7-footers, all of them basketball do play!
Double figures AB! Cs up 12 start Q3.
Smart steal, coast to coast. AB FOR THREE!

Cs starting backcourt's great, we've been waiting.
AB FOR THREE! Shots the Cs are creating!
Walker's trying to take over. Hornets a 9-2 run,
Turner and AB went on their own run.

SMART (block) AND AB--GREAT D!
AB FOR THREE! AB FOR THREE!
Cs up 16 to start Q4.
Cs great energy all over the floor!

Henderson huge shove on Wallace, Flagrant One!
Doesn't appreciate all that (tonight) Wallace has done.
THOMAS FOR THREE! Gotta watch Kemba and Mo.
The crowd is in it, they want a show!

Cool: Smart first player in Texas named "Mr. Basketball,"
Who didn't lead his team in scoring--just did it ALL.
Hornets are getting to the paint. Crowder to the hoop.
Over the limit, 7 minutes left, the Hornets group.

LOVE CROWDER! CROWDER FOR THREE!
Huddle: no panic from Brad. Talking, Smart and AB.
Isaiah gets to the line most, Crowder, too.
Lucky, Hornets' offense takes a long time to do.

An Oscar for Kemba who has scored the last eight.
Cs aggressive, Bass is always great!
Walker! Yikes! Ref faked out the guys jump ball ;)
AB rebound--speed--clear path is the call.

Cs' 2nd night of back-to-backs record's impressive.
Coach Brad's face is so expressive ;)
30 points AB, by 12 the CELTICS WON--
Tied the series with the Hornets. This was fun!
