Life is a lot easier for the Boston Celtics when Jayson Tatum is on the floor, and his teammates took advantage of that in Friday’s win over the Mavericks. Derrick White made the most of a lighter workload,

White's Celtics were handed their largest loss of the season last night against Charlotte.

One of the greatest signs of respect in the NBA is when two players exchange jerseys at a game between their two ball clubs.

Despite that, Derrick White had an efficient night, making him Wednesday’s “Name to Know” Player of the Game. The Name to Know Player of the Game is sponsored by John’s Sewer and Drain Cleaning, the Name to Know when your drains don’t flow.

None of the things that normally keep the Celtics in a game happened here, which led to their worst loss of the season.

In a clash of two of the hottest teams in the Eastern Conference, the Boston Celtics found themselves ran off the floor by the Charlotte Hornets. Charlotte took an early lead, never looked back, and walked away with a 118-89 win in Boston.

Jaylen Brown wasn’t at his sharpest Wednesday night against the Hornets. He missed four of his first six shots and four of his final six as the Celtics suffered a lopsided 118–89 defeat at TD Garden.
