The Boston Celtics ( 14 - 10 ) beat the rising Charlotte Hornets ( 14 - 9 ) after the teams traded three - pointers in the final 30 seconds . For Boston , the win came on the coattails of a devestating loss in double overtime against the Golden State Warriors . Despite the extended matchup on Friday , the Celtics came out guns blazing in Charlotte . Rising star Avery Bradley led the way with 23 points , while point guard Isaiah Thomas had a 21 - point , 13 - assist double - double . Boston has exceeded most expert 's expectations this season , now sitting four games above .500 and coming off a back - to - back in which they defeated the Eastern Conference 's second seed and came seconds away from snapping the Golden State Warriors ' historic win streak . The young team , along with third - year coach Brad Stevens will hope to improve upon last year 's surprising playoff run . Meanwhile , the loss comes as a bit of a momentum killer for Charlotte , who had won five of their previous six games . Even in the face of a loss , small forward Nicolas Batum put up strong numbers . In his first year with the Hornets , Batum has been impeccable , putting up impressive averages of 17 points , 7 rebounds , and 5 assists and helping the lottery team transform into one of the Eastern Conference 's toughest matchups . Point guard Kemba Walker , meanwhile , had an off shooting night , going just 5 - 15 from the floor . After what was a heartbreaking Friday night for Boston , the win against Charlotte should help the team regain its momentum before a big game against Cleveland on Tuesday . Charlotte 's next matchup will be against the Magic in Orlando on Wednesday .
