CHARLOTTE, N.C. _ The Charlotte Hornets had a 4-3 record, but they hadn't really beaten anybody good.
They still haven't, and a 108-97 beating by the Boston Celtics at home Thursday drove home the point. This ended a three-game winning streak in which the Hornets beat the Sacramento Kings, Golden State Warriors and Indiana Pacers.
This game was nationally televised on TNT in part because former Hornet Kemba Walker and former Celtic Terry Rozier were matched for the first time against their former teams in the regular season. Walker didn't play like an All-Star (14 points on 4-of-12 shooting), but Rozier particularly struggled, shooting 1-of-11 from the field for three points.
For the Hornets, Miles Bridges finished with 18 points and 10 rebounds, and Devonte Graham came off the bench for 15 points and nine assists.
