The Boston Celtics fell 104-97 to the Charlotte Hornets in their preseason opener on Friday, as Gordon Hayward and Kyrie Irving took the court together for the first time since last year’s disastrous season opener against the Cleveland Cavaliers.

After an excellent first half, during which the Celtics led by 20, Charlotte came storming back in the third when Boston went ice-cold from three.
