The Celtics took to the court on Monday with the unexpected goal of securing their first win against the Hornets for the season.

The Celtics excel in both offense and defense, ranking among the top five teams in almost all statistical categories.

Known for their exceptional ability to make shots from beyond the 3-point line, they are considered to be among the top players in the NBA, consistently ranking in the top three for average 3-point field goals made per game.

Porzingis’ dominant interior presence and the dynamic guard duo of Jrue Holiday and Derrick White have helped the Celtics secure a spot in the top three for field goal defense.

Despite the absence of LaMelo Ball, the Hornets’ roster has greatly benefited from Miles Bridges’ return. His valuable contributions have played a crucial role in the team’s success, as he currently leads in scoring, assists, and field goal shooting. Bridges has admirably stepped up to fill the void left by Ball’s absence.
