Pundits predicted the Hornets could win later, but the Celtics made sure that didn’t happen. The Hornets took a 124-109 beating from the Celtics on Friday. Charlotte has struggled against Boston in recent years, as the game was their third straight loss.
The Celtics can attribute much of their luck to Jayson Tatum, who had a double-double with 32 points and 11 rebounds, and Jaylen Brown, who scored 25 points to go along with six rebounds and five assists. The attack was Brown’s third in a row with no fewer than 30 problems. Payton Pritchard, on the other hand, was much less useful, going 0-for-5 from beyond the arc.
