Boston Celtics is a non-stop… of victories. The team of Ime Udoka He gave some time ago with the precise key that has turned him into a hyper-competitive squad. This Wednesday a new victory, a solvent victory, without trouble: 101-115 in Charlotte.
And again Jayson Tatum in star mode. The Celtic forward is going through an impressive moment of play. Against the Hornets, a majestic performance with 44 points (16 in the last quarter) after scoring 16 of his 24 dynamic shots. Very successful from beyond the arc (6 of 9). And Boston is 40-27, the fifth team to reach 40 wins in the East and a contender for everything, given how close the conference is.
Tatum was the spearhead of a team that once again showed its power from defense, a team that already has 15 wins in its last 17 games. Almost nothing.
These Celtics defend, these Celtics have game control and don’t fade in the endgame like they used to, and these Celtics have a leader, Tatum, in a state of grace.
Everyone contributed their grain of sand to the victory. Jaylen Browndenied today from the triple, scored 15 points, Al Horford (10 points, 10 rebounds and 3 steals in 34 minutes) and Robert Williams III (with many foul problems) they signed two double-doubles, and they also worked with success Marcus Smartvery important player in this team, Derrick White and Grant Williams.
On the other side, a team that has not finished breaking it as expected. The Hornets have not just taken off and in their last two games they have been ‘mistreated’ by the stellar performances of Irving (50 points) and Tatum (44).
Charlotte has had the 17 points of P.J. Washington and of Miles Bridgeswith the 15 of LaMelo Ballwho lost 6 balls in the first half, and with 14 and 5 steals from Terry Rozier on an unlucky night on the shot.
Very good first part Mason Plumleewho finished the game with very good numbers.
