The Boston Celtics dropped a tough game to the Charlotte Hornets, highlighted by a heartbreaking moment at the end of the third quarter. Jalen Brown drove strong for a layup that hit the rim and spun for nearly three seconds before falling out. With 59 seconds left on the clock, Brown's shot touched the backboard, circled the rim and popped free at 56.6 seconds. It prevented Boston from closing the gap. That miscrushed the Celtics momentum. The Hornets responded with six fast points in just 33 seconds, stretching their lead to 23 heading into the fourth. Jalen Brown owned the poor showing after the game. He noted the team lacked energy, something rare this season, and stressed everyone needs to step up, starting with him as a leader. This loss stands out for a squad that's dominated most of the year. Boston will look to regroup quickly and get back to their winning ways.
