The Charlotte Hornets dominated the Boston Celtics 118–89 on March 4 at TD Garden, delivering a decisive road victory that fell well short of the 214.5-point Vegas total. Charlotte's offensive efficiency was the story, as the Hornets shot 46.1 percent from the field and drained 19 three-pointers while committing just four turnovers, generating 26 assists and a 129.3 offensive rating. K. Knueppel led Charlotte with 20 points, followed by B. Miller's 18, while the Hornets' defense suffocated Boston to a 94.9 rating. The Celtics' D. White paced Boston with 29 points and J. Brown added 20, but the home team managed only a 38 percent field-goal percentage, 10 three-pointers, and 18 assists across 15 turnovers. Charlotte's dominance was evident in the first quarter, when the Hornets built a 35-point frame to set the tone early. This road win signals Charlotte's growing consistency on the road and suggests the Hornets are positioning themselves as a serious playoff contender in the Eastern Conference.
