In their last game at TD Garden on November 27 against the Washington Wizards, the Celtics showcased an offensive masterclass, scoring 130 points with a field goal percentage of 55 and an even more impressive three-point percentage of 47. Their free throw accuracy was flawless at 100 percent. This kind of sharpshooting is what fans have come to expect from this team and it's likely that they will bring this same level of precision against the Hornets.


The BOS's ability to control the game was evident as they led for over 46 minutes and established a commanding lead that peaked at 26 points. Their bench contributed significantly with 46 points, demonstrating depth that could prove vital in upcoming games.


On defense, there's room for improvement. Despite winning comfortably last time out, they allowed the Wizards to score 121 points—a reminder that even with a potent offense, defensive solidity cannot be overlooked.


Comparatively speaking, when looking at previous performances by both teams in recent games including those against other opponents like Sacramento Kings and Dallas Mavericks—the BOS have shown consistency in maintaining high-scoring offenses while also managing better defensive stats than their upcoming opponents from Charlotte.


The Hornets should not be underestimated though; every NBA team has potential on any given night. However, based on past performances and statistics alone—especially considering how well-rounded BOS’s play has been—it would take something special from CHA or an off-night for BOS for there not to be a home victory come game night.


Fans eager for action can mark their calendars for November 28th when these two teams face off at TD Garden in Boston MA starting at 7:30 PM Eastern Time. The game will be broadcasted locally on NBCS-BOS channel number 630 and BSSE channel number 649 for those following from afar. Don't miss what promises to be another display of basketball excellence by one of the league's top contenders—the Boston Celtics.
