(AP) — Miles Bridges made the most of his first NBA start in 586 days.Bridges hit a 3-pointer with 6.6 seconds left in overtime and the Charlotte Hornets snapped a six-game home losing streak with an improbable 121-118 come-from-behind win over the red hot Boston Celtics on Monday night.LaMelo Ball finished with 36 points, nine rebounds and eight assists, and Gordon Hayward added 20 points for the Hornets, who battled back from an 18-point deficit to end Boston’s six-game win streak.Jayson Tatum had 45 points, but missed a free throw with 5.2 seconds left that would have tied the game after getting fouled on a 3-point shot. He made the first two before the crucial miss on the third one.“I couldn’t believe he missed that last one, but we got the win and that is all that matters,” Bridges said.Tatum couldn’t believe it, either.“Was I surprised?

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 05:27:38 GMT

As their winning streak reached six games, the Celtics’ flaws were masked by victories. Wins in Toronto and Memphis over the weekend were marred by poor efforts, but the C’s kept finding ways to win anyway. Even after winning Sunday night over the Grizzlies, coach Joe Mazzulla said his team shouldn’t have won.A night later, the Celtics got the outcome they deserved.Through the first 13 games of this season, the Celtics had seemed to solve the crunch-time woes that killed them throughout last season. But they took a big step back on Monday night. Even without Derrick White, the Celtics had more than enough to close out the lowly Hornets but their bad habits resurfaced in a brutal 121-118 overtime loss.Jayson Tatum scored 45 points and Payton Pritchard added 21 in a big effort off the bench in the absence of White, but the Celtics’ recent run of uninspired play finally came back to haunt them. The Celtics led by as many as 18 in the first half but let the Hornets stick around. Then th...
