CHARLOTTE, N.C. (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.
