Hornets vs Celtics: Eastern Clash

0:00On March 29, Sunday night brings a clash between two scorching Eastern conference teams, the Celtics and the Hornets. Both squads lighted up from deep. The Hornets lead the league with 1193 threes made, while Boston sits third at 1100. 13. They dominate the glass too, grabbing extra shots to pull ahead. These teams mirror each other and big comebacks. Charlotte was 12 games under 500 on January 22nd, but exploded to 23 wins and seven losses since. Boston pulled off something similar in 2022, starting the all-star break at 20 wins and 21 losses, then ribbing off. 31 wins and 10 losses on their way to the finals. The Hornets staff reads like a Celtics reunion. Head coach Charles Lee was Joe Mazula's top assistant on that championship squad, and he's got ex-boss and assistance, Blaine Muller and Germain. Bucknor helping out. They even added Patrick Shawts as VP of medical and performance, straight from Boston's training team.

1:00Rookie star Condon Wepple, dropping 19 points a game and owning the three-point record for newbies at 256, credits coach Lee, and returning health for the surge. Veterans like ex-Celtics, Grant Williams and Xavier Tillman bring that playoff savvy, mentoring the young guns and building locker-room vibes. With a 39 and 35 record, Charlotte's 10th in the east, but just two and a half games back of Toronto for fifth-seven games left. Facing Boston now, they're geared up to dodge the plan and make noise come postseason. I'm Corey with the story. That's your Boston Celtics news today update, AI-powered and always on.
