Celtics-Hornets Preview

The Charlotte Hornets have had plenty of time to rest after ending a long losing streak, and they'll get a chance to make it back-to-back wins Wednesday night against a Boston Celtics team that had only one day off following a double-overtime defeat.

Charlotte (5-15) had dropped 10 in a row before narrowly getting by visiting New York 103-102 on Friday. The Hornets built an 80-60 lead late in the third quarter but trailed by one with 4 seconds left, setting the stage for Kemba Walker's layup as time expired.

"We needed the win," coach Steve Clifford said. "It's been three weeks since we won - and we won the most close games in the league last year."

Walker finished 4 of 15 and is shooting a career-low 36.0 percent. He's been even worse over the last five games, shooting 29.9 percent while missing 15 of 19 from 3-point range.

Charlotte is one of the lowest-scoring teams in the NBA with 94.2 points per game, but Walker hopes that being able to practice without having to play a game for nearly a week will help fix that problem.

"It's been good. It's been really good," Walker said Monday. "To get a chance to kind of get in sync with one another, learn some new schemes, put in some new plays ... practice means a lot in this league."

The Celtics (7-12) didn't have much time to practice for this game after opening a two-game road swing with a 133-132 double-overtime loss to Washington on Monday. Their starters, though, should be fresh.

Boston, which beat the Wizards 101-93 at home Sunday for its third straight win, forced overtime after trailing by 23 in the third quarter.

The Celtics' reserves sparked the rally and accounted for 82 points, their highest total since at least the 1985-86 season. Rookie Marcus Smart scored a season-high 23, Kelly Olynyk had 19 points and 11 rebounds, Brandon Bass also scored 19 and Evan Turner added 18 - with each playing at least 31 minutes.

"Those guys deserved to play at the end because they got us right back in it," coach Brad Stevens said. "It was nothing against the guys that started."

Jeff Green led the starters with 28 points while the other four combined for 22. Rajon Rondo was scoreless in just under 21 minutes and took a backseat to Smart, who played a career-high 35.

"I'm very competitive. I wanted to play. I wanted to compete and be on the floor," said Rondo, who's shooting 25.0 percent over the last six games. "But, the guys in front of me, the guys that were out there were playing great, and I don't want to mess up any momentum."

The Hornets won the first meeting last season before the Celtics took the final two. Boston won 96-86 in the only matchup in Charlotte despite Walker scoring 28 on 11-for-17 shooting.

Charlotte is expected to get starting forward Michael Kidd-Gilchrist back after he missed 12 straight games with a foot injury. He's averaged 9.8 points and shot 20 of 32 in six contests.

Jefferson leads Hornets to 96-87 win over Celtics

CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) Al Jefferson finally quit thinking about what he wanted to do with the ball on the court, and just started doing it.

That showed in the fourth quarter against the Boston Celtics, as Jefferson scored 11 of his game-high 23 points and the Charlotte Hornets held off a late rally for a 96-87 victory Wednesday night.

Kemba Walker added 18 points and Lance Stephenson 13 for Charlotte, which led by as many as 12 points in the third quarter and were up 87-79 with 8:05 left.

However, Boston - led by Marcus Thornton's 13 fourth-quarter points - pulled to 87-85 with 4:31 remaining. But Walker's three-point play and back-to-back baskets by Jefferson pushed the Hornets' lead back to 94-85 with 1:19 left.

"We just had to get some stops," said Jefferson, who also had 14 rebounds as Charlotte posted back-to-back wins for the second time this season. "We knew they could get hot fast. We just had to step up our defense.

"This is two games in a row that we've been able to close it out. I was thinking too much in the first half. I just had to be myself and relax, and that's what I did in the second half."

Rajon Rondo had a triple-double with 12 points, 10 rebounds and 10 assists for the Celtics. Jeff Green and Thornton led Boston with 16 points each, Tyler Zeller scored 13 and Brandon Bass 10.

"We made a little bit of a run at the start of the fourth (quarter), but we couldn't quite get over the hump," Celtics coach Brad Stevens said. "We missed some opportunities, and they just played better than us."

The Hornets trailed by five points entering the third quarter, but opened the period with an 11-4 run. Gerald Henderson hit a jumper to tie the score at 49-49 with 8:37 left, and his 3-pointer with 7:37 left put Charlotte ahead to stay at 54-51.

The Hornets took their biggest lead of the game late in the third quarter, with Walker's jumper with 1:38 remaining capping a 17-8 run for a 71-59 advantage.

The Celtics had mounted a similar rally in the first half, coming back from an eight-point deficit early in the second quarter to lead 45-40 at the break.

The Hornets were ahead 26-18 on Gary Neal's jumper with 11:02 left in the second quarter, but Boston went on a 20-6 run over the next 8 minutes. Rondo's jumper with 4:29 remaining gave the Celtics their biggest lead of the half, 38-32.

TIP-INS

Celtics: Boston shot 21.7 percent from 3-point range, making just 5 of 23 attempts. However, that wasn't a season low for the Celtics - they made just 1 of 25 against Houston (4.0 percent) on Nov. 1.

Hornets: Forward Michael Kidd-Gilchrist, who had missed the last 12 games with a stress reaction in his right foot, finished with nine points and six rebounds in 18 minutes Wednesday.

STAT SHEET

While the Celtics actually made more field goals Wednesday (38 of 87, compared to Charlotte's 35 of 84), the Hornets enjoyed a decisive advantage at the free-throw line - 23 of 29, while Boston made just 6 of 10. The Celtics also turned the ball over 15 times, leading to 14 Hornets points.

QUOTE OF THE GAME

"I think you could tell when you walked into the locker room that guys are happy. I think they know that the way they played tonight was a byproduct of how they've practiced. You know, after 20 games, there's a lot of groups that don't want to practice three times. They just want to play the games. But our guys were good. They had good practices, and hopefully that'll set a tone for this next stretch of games." - Hornets coach Steve Clifford.

IN THE DOG HOUSE

Rookie guard P.J. Hairston didn't dress out for Wednesday's game after taking what Clifford said was "an unexcused absence" from Tuesday's practice. Clifford said Hairston, the 26th overall pick in the 2014 NBA Draft, would suit up for Friday's game against the Memphis Grizzlies.

UP NEXT

Celtics: Host New York on Friday.

Hornets: At Memphis on Friday.
