0:00It's March 30, Boston Celtics news today starts now, AI powered and ready for kickoff. The Charlotte Hornets dropped a tough 15-point decision to the Boston Celtics on Sunday, wrapping up a home back-to-back after beating the Sixers. The night before, Boston controlled 91% of the game, handing Charlotte their latest setback in a tight Southeast Division race. The Hornets shot just 28% from 3-point range, making 12 of 43 attempts. The Mellow Ball led them with 19 points, but went three for 12 from deep, highlighting their perimeter woes. Meanwhile, Jason Tatum exploded for a season high 32 points, adding 8 assists, 5 boards, a block, and 0 turnovers. Miles Bridge is owned up to his defensive laps on Tatum, saying he should have been more physical from the start and stopped the early rhythm that snowballed. With the 7-game home stand over, the Hornets sit within a half-game of Orlando and Miami, while jockeying for Eastern Conference playing spots.
