Will the Charlotte Hornets Turn the Tide Against Boston Celtics at TD Garden?

As the Charlotte Hornets prepare to face off against the Boston Celtics at TD Garden, fans are eager to see if their team can reverse recent trends and pull off an upset. The Hornets have been struggling this season, with a record of 18 wins to 57 losses, indicating a challenging campaign. In their last game against the Celtics, they fell short by 14 points, despite putting up a strong fight and leading for over 14 minutes of game time.

The Hornets' performance in recent games has shown some promise despite their losses. They managed an impressive assist-to-turnover ratio of 4.67 against the Celtics and even outscored them in fast-break points by seven percent. However, they'll need to tighten up defensively as they allowed a high offensive rating of over 120 points per hundred possessions in each of their past three games.


Offensively, Charlotte has demonstrated efficiency from beyond the arc with a three-point shooting percentage rounding up to forty-four percent against LA Clippers but will need more consistency inside as they've hovered around fifty-two percent on two-point attempts.

The upcoming game presents another opportunity for Charlotte to refine these areas and seek improvement. With both teams having had ample time since their last encounter at Spectrum Center, adjustments are expected on both ends of the floor.


Fans can tune into this anticipated matchup on April 12th at 7:30 PM Eastern Time. The game will be broadcasted live from TD Garden in Boston on NBCS-BOS and BSSE networks. Will this be where we witness a turning point for our beloved Hornets?
