Sunday’s game started with Terry Rozier hitting an absurdly wide-open 3-pointer.
He should savor that opportunity. It might be the last open shot he sees for several weeks.
The Charlotte Hornets’ 116-86 loss to the Boston Celtics was both a season-low in points and their widest margin of defeat. The underlying cause was obvious: Gordon Hayward, LaMelo Ball and Malik Monk are all out with injuries and will be for weeks to come.
That makes Rozier by far Charlotte’s best offensive weapon. The Celtics, Rozier’s former team, certainly treated him that way, sending defensive help at him constantly Sunday.
