Hornets Struggle Against Stifling Defense


On the other side of the court, Charlotte struggled against Boston's stifling defense which limited them to just under 40 percent shooting overall. Despite LaMelo Ball's efforts in orchestrating plays for his teammates leading to some fast-break opportunities that resulted in four fast break points for Charlotte, it wasn't enough to overcome their challenges on offense.


The Hornets managed only six points off turnovers compared to Boston’s dominant tally of thirty-one such points—a testament not only towards defensive prowess but also effective transition play by Celtics players who capitalized effectively upon each opportunity presented during this encounter between these two teams.
