Hornets vs. Celtics

First off, being at the game is wonderful being my first time. I have never been to a Hornet’s game before. I got to see the Hornets and the Celtics from close during practice shots. I also meet some Honeybees and took pictures with them. I meet Hugo and took pictures with him also.

The game starts off with the Hornets going big, lead by Chris Paul. The Boston Celtics, lead by Rajon Rondo, are up by four. The Hornets are coming up strong to take the lead.

Desmond Mason leads in the first quarter with six points, and the Celtics, Al Jefferson with seven. At the end of the first quarter the Hornets of behind by five. But the hope isn’t over.

With eight minutes left Butler ties the game in the second quarter. With two minutes left in the second quarter the Hornets are up by twelve. At the end of the second quarter the Hornets are up by seventeen.

At the third quarter the hornets are up by twenty. With tree minutes left the Hometown hornets are still up by nineteen. Two minutes left and the Hornets are up by twenty-three. It seems like there is no hope for the Celtics with the scores the Hornets have been delivering tonight, up by twenty-eight.

Three minutes left in the game and the hornets are up by twenty-six. One more minute the game is basically over, because Hornets are leading by twenty. The game is over Hornets beat Celtics by twenty-six. Tyson Chandler is MVP for tonight’s game. I’m glad that I got to go.
