The Hornets always the better in terms of effort, a good start. Martin slashing, bigs hitting 3's, up 10 after one. The Celtics turning it over, Tatum getting nothing. All starters scoring and active defensively for Charlotte, up 11 at the half. Washington having quite a game for not a noted scorer. Smart keeping the Celts in touch with 10 consecutive points in 3rd, the Hornets never dipping though. They go on to win it comfortably, with great shooting all game. These Celtics acquisitions aren't looking great, have gone from being close to a contender to now no guarantee of making the playoffs. The Hornets with 39 assists, just 11 turnovers, with plenty of steals and blocks. Washington with an efficient 22 points, 12 boards, 5 assists and just 1 turnover. Graham with a game-high 24 points and 9 assists.
