The Charlotte Hornets trailed for just 15 seconds on Sunday afternoon and led by double digits for most of the day as they blew out the Celtics at home, 125-104.
Boston’s only lead came in the opening minute of the game before Charlotte took control. The Hornets led by 15 points in the first quarter and double digits for the entire second frame.
After a Kemba Walker-inspired run from Boston trimmed the lead down to single digits in the third, Miles Bridges’ 3-pointer to beat the buzzer to close the frame set the tone for a fourth quarter where Charlotte pulled away.
Bridges was one of four Hornets with at least 20 points, tallying exactly 20 on the day. Devonte’ Graham led all scorers with 24, P.J. Washington had 22 and Terry Rozier finished with 21.
