Boston Celtics 94-82 Charlotte Hornets

Kyrie Irving dunked and the Celtics were imposed on their floor against the Hornets (94-82). Everything was not perfect for this first match of preseason but the essential is ensured for this team of Boston which is therefore well born.

In the entrance bath, the leader takes his shots in the outskirts and thus pays the scalp of Batman on a beautiful pass of Al Horford. With a five in which Jaylen Brown is found in 2 and Aron Baynes in 5, the Celtics are on the ball, but Frank Kaminsky enjoys the Boston bench and an active but awkward Guerschon Yabusele. The Hornets cling, but they will never be able to turn the tide.

For its debut, Kyrie Irving is satisfied with 19 minutes of play for 9 points, 4 rebounds, 3 assists, but we found the Irving of the Cavaliers. Gordon Hayward (5 points, 5 rebounds in 17 minutes) and Al Horford (7 points, 6 rebounds, 4 assists, 2 blocks in 16 minutes) Were also saved. Daniel Theis (12 points, 7 rebounds, 3 assists) made a very nice copy out of the bench, with a lot of energy and a big tap dunk with both hands!
Jayson Tatum (9 points, 5 rebounds, 4 assists) also showed scraps of his offensive talent, playing Jeremy Lamb, author of a good match otherwise, best score of the match to 17 units (plus 8 rebounds).
