The Celtics luck runs out in this 121-118 loss to the Hornets. This is the third straight game where they didn’t deserve to win but they somehow escaped with a 2-1 record in those 3 games. The story of the game for me was Payton Pritchard. He had 21pts 6reb 3ast on a super efficient 5-8 from 3. JB was in foul trouble and Tatum played the entire 3rd quarter so for 6 minutes in the 4th quarter, Pritchard ran the show with Hauser, Svi, Kornet and Brissett and still somehow extended the lead.

Tatum was great for most of the game having 31pts by halftime on 15 FGA but ended the game with just 14pts on his next 13 FGA and this hurts in two ways because clearly the efficiency cooled off a lot but he also needs to be taking more shots if he has the hot hand and nobody else but Pritchard does. JB, Hauser and Holiday were horrible in this one and Porzingis was very far off his normal efficiency. The Celtics missed 10 FTs in this one, turned the ball over 15 times, gave up 24pts in transition and gave up 17 offensive rebounds. They didn't deserve to be in this game. At the end of the day, it is only 1 out of 82 regular season games so we'll get over it but they have a real test coming up on Wednesday against the Bucks so they have some film to watch and get right before then.
