Celtics Edge Hornets, Brown Hits Milestone

0:00It's April 8th. Welcome in. This is Charlotte Hornets News today, where your team meets AI. I'm Cory with the story. Boston Celtics edged out the Charlotte Hornets 113-102 at TD Garden Tuesday night. Jalen Brown was straight up impressed, saying the young Hornets squad reminded him of the Celtics back in their early days, fearless shooters with, multiple threats who play without hesitation. Coming off a win against Toronto, Boston new teams would come hard in these final regular season weeks. Charlotte's just half a game from jumping seas, chasing spots that could skip the play-in, and land them straight into the playoffs against someone. Like the Knicks, Brown gave props to the Hornets for treating it like a must-win, jumping out with 31 points in the first quarter on hot three-point shooting. Lamello Ball dropped a game-high 36 points, including some wild, long-range bombs that had everyone watching stunned. The Celtics flipped the script in the second half, locking down Ball for zero in the fourth and holding Charlotte to just 20 points.

1:02Brown attacked the rim for his 35 points, hitting 20,000 career points to join an elite Celtics list with fans chanting MVP at the first line. As playoffs near, Boston took two of three from Charlotte this year, and Brown might see that young mirror image again in round one. He even lost another rock paper scissors battle to old teammate Grant Williams' post-game guys on a hot streak.
