The Celtics outscore the Hornets 60-40 in the 2nd half on their way to a 122-106 W! With no Jaylen Brown in this one, we needed guys to step up and Derrick White did just that with 8pts in the first 4 minutes of the game before colliding with Marcus Smart and leaving the game with a neck sprain. From there, we had no JB and no White for the remaining 44 minutes and we really needed guys to step up. That's where Malcolm Brogdon stepped in. He contributed 30pts 3reb 3ast and 1stl on a super efficient 11-17 from the field and 4-6 from 3. This was arguably the best game we have seen Brogdon play all year and it came when the Celtics really needed it.

We also saw Horford step up and add 16pts 7reb 6ast in this one and it is pretty apparent that he likes playing the 4 better than the 5 so that double big lineup is hopefully here to stay. Outside of that, we saw another double double (13pts 12ast) from Marcus Smart who was really good in this one besides the fact that he took way too many shots. We did see big energy minutes from both Timelord and Pritchard who, both, were beasts on the offensive glass. It's really good to see Timelord start to see his minutes go up and it is also great to see Pritchard continue to earn his time out there. Tatum was fine again in this one. He still scored his 30pts but it was on a super sloppy 12-27 from the field and 4-14 from 3. What was different from Tatum this game opposed to last was his ability to pass out of doubles. He was significantly better tonight playmaking which is is great but we still saw a decent amount of hero ball and the shots weren't really falling. Overall, it's a nice win and the Celtics widen their lead in the Eastern Conference!
