Brian Robb @BrianTRobb
Hornets are up to 67 percent shooting from 2 and 3-point range. Just no resistance from Boston’s defense so far. – 7:29 PM
Keith Smith @KeithSmithNBA
That was a really nice pass by Tatum to Pritchard in the opposite corner. – 7:28 PM
James Plowright @British_Buzz
Boston defense seems a step slow, especially with rotations and close outs. – 7:26 PM
Gary Washburn @GwashburnGlobe
In case you didn’t notice, Ish Smith is with the #Hornets now, so he’ll just continue his mastery of the #Celtics in Charlotte apparently. – 7:26 PM
Keith Smith @KeithSmithNBA
Ish Smith = Celtics killer. – 7:25 PM
James Plowright @British_Buzz
LaMelo picks up another early set of fouls, one a charge on Schroeder, then a push when being posted up by Brown – 7:23 PM
Keith Smith @KeithSmithNBA
Even if Plumlee scores, the Celtics will happily live with Charlotte running as many post-ups for him as they want. – 7:22 PM
Keith Smith @KeithSmithNBA
In the spirit of accountability: I was really wrong on LaMelo Ball. He’s good. – 7:22 PM
Rod Boone @rodboone
Cody Martin and Jalen McDaniels are the first two off the bench tonight. – 7:21 PM
James Plowright @British_Buzz
Pretty even starts, both teams getting a lot of open looks from three, Charlotte have made more so far. – 7:20 PM

Seven of #Hornets first 12 shots have come from 3-point range. They’ve hit 4 and lead Boston 17-12. – 7:18 PM

John Karalis @RedsArmy_John
If the Celtics are just going to spot up & run pnr to get drive-and-kick chances, then put shooters out there. If they’re going to run this lineup, then they need to cut. Can’t have both. – 7:17 PM
Rylan Stiles @Rylan_Stiles
LaMelo is electric. – 7:16 PM
Gary Washburn @GwashburnGlobe
Four 3-pointers in the first 4 1/2 minutes for #Hornets. #Celtics7:15 PM
Keith Smith @KeithSmithNBA
You don’t see a lot of Eurosteps on the baseline, but that was a nice by Tatum around Plumlee. – 7:14 PM

ICYMI: our scouting report on Kok Yat from October 6th. Yat is a cousin JT Thor but a more fluid athlete. A potential sleeper for the 2022 draft and is currently projected as an early seconder on our 2023 mock.
