The Charlotte Hornets (14-13) were defeated by the Boston Celtics (14-12) as they dropped their fourth straight game. Without Kemba Walker, the Hornets dropped to 0-4 on their current five-game road trip. Charlotte played well and had a chance to win the game but as it neared the end, Boston took control after a questionable call against Steve Clifford’s side.
The Hornets were without their star in Kemba Walker as he missed his first game of the season due to personal reasons. He is expected to re-join the team for their next game in Atlanta.
