The Celtics rallied back from a double-digit first-half deficit to claim a 112-103 victory over the Hornets in their third preseason game on Friday despite missing most of their rotation.
Here’s what happened.
1. Where in the world did this come from, Grant Williams?
Williams finished with nine points in 28 minutes as part of the Celtics’ starting unit, but the field goals were loud.
At one point in the second half, Williams found himself isolated against Mason Plumlee. Williams hit the Hornets center with a perfectly timed hesitation crossover, then drove to the basket and flung his body into Plumlee to draw a foul while scoring the layup.
