Recap/Analysis: Hornets finish season with loss to the Celtics

Both teams played a heavy reserve lineup, and the Charlotte Hornets ended their season with a loss to the Celtics, 93-86.

The Summary

Both teams predictably trotted out reserve lineups with nothing at stake. The Hornets reserves looked more the part. Outside of five quick points from Jusuf Nurkic, they quite literally could not put the ball in the basket. Meanwhile the Celtics bombed away from three and built an 18 point lead in just the first quarter.

The second quarter was not one for the faint of heart. Both teams clanged shots from all over the floor for most of the period.
