1. Well, that was one heck of start for the Boston Celtics. After a couple of weeks of unwanted drama, the Celtics dominated the Charlotte Hornets to get the preseason started with a blowout victory.
Boston racked up an absurd 41 assists on 48 made baskets. The Celtics also shot 22-of-47 on three-pointers. Overall, it was a dominating effort for Joe Mazzulla’s group in his debut as Celtics head coach.
2. Jaylen Brown got things off to a good start for Boston. He finished with 24 points in 24 minutes. Everything looked pretty smooth and effortless for Brown.
