The Boston Celtics suffered a tough blow on Wednesday night, dropping a 1-018-89 decision to the Charlotte Hornets. They struggled across the board, shooting just 30 out of 79 from the field, and 10 out of 36 from 3-point range. Turnovers and poor rebounding piled on, leading to a blowout loss at home. The Hornets jumped ahead early with an 11-4 run, building a lead that grew to 22 by halftime. Boston missed 30 shots in the first half alone, with zero second chance points to show for it. Despite some sparks from Derek White and Jalen Brown, they couldn't strain together momentum. Fans left disappointed as the Celtics failed to mount a serious comeback, trailing by 23 after 3-4. The big men, including Neomyas Keta and Nikola Vusovic, had rough nights, offering little inside production after Keta's early knee tweak. Offensive rebounding was nonexistent beyond a few grabs from Hugo Gonzalez.

1:04Derek White stood out with 27 points on efficient shooting, going 8-8 from the free-throw line. Jalen Brown added 20 points in 11 rebounds, but his efficiency dipped again. Baylor Sharman chipped in 9 points in 5 assists in extended minutes. This loss highlights ongoing issues with shot-making and boardwork for Boston, especially on off-nights. They'll look to bounce back soon against a lighter schedule. This story is made possible by our sponsor, see the episode description. Headphones in a pillow, simple idea, surprisingly addictive.
