With Al Horford sidelined for rest purposes, the Celtics rolled out the same starting lineup they featured against the Knicks on Tuesday: Jrue Holiday, Derrick White, Jaylen Brown, Jayson Tatum and Kristaps Porzingis. The group continued to showcase some seriously high upside, and cruised to an easy win over the Charlotte Hornets, 127-99.
Brown led the way this evening with an electric 20 points on 8-of-12 shooting from the field, on a night where the Celtics starters combined for 71 points and each scored in double-figures. Kristaps Porzingis impressed with an impactful two-way effort, scoring 14 points and grabbing 12 rebounds.
