The Boston Celtics couldn’t stop the buzzsaw that is the Charlotte Hornets at TD Garden.
The Celtics had one of their worst offensive games of the season Wednesday night, shooting 38 percent from the floor in a 118-89 loss to a red-hot Hornets team that’s now won six games in a row — all by at least 15 points — and 16 of its last 19 games overall.
Derrick White (29 points) and Jaylen Brown (20 points) were the lone bright spots for Boston, which never led in this game and committed 16 turnovers en route to its largest loss of the 2025-26 season.
