In his second game back from a collapsed lung, CJ McCollum had 24 points in the loss.
Boston (23-23) had some of its momentum snuffed out on Wednesday as well when falling to the Hornets 111-102. The Celtics fell behind the eight-ball in the second quarter of this one and couldn’t quite keep up for the rest of the outing. Dennis Schroder was the leader in this one with 27 points, seven rebounds, and five assists.
