It’s well known, you always try to impress your ex and Terry Rozier is no exception to the rule. Passing through Boston, the leader played a very nasty trick on his former comrades.
For the house boxscore of this match between old acquaintances, it’s here.
Celtics-Hornets, it was a match placed under the sign of reunion since it was the first return of a certain Gordon Hayward from the side of Boston. Injured last season during the two trips to Massachusetts, the All-Star winger was able to fill up with memories but he will not have opted for the role of executioner this night. This charming role is as often the property of a certain Terry Rozier. As we know, the guard has a history with the Boston franchise and we can imagine him circling the date on his personal calendar at the start of each season. Overmotivated in the face of his former franchise, Scary Terry released a boss game (28 points, 10 assists), notably achieving crazy money time to assassinate the Celtics in their lair (especially with this shoot well clutch). Something to make fans of the greens ever more nostalgic. We will also note the good return of Kelly Oubre Jr. off the bench, he who had just come out of the COVID protocol. A winger who regales, it’s not really a sentence that can be released on Jayson Tatum in the early morning. Missed his match, the Jay Brother again showed that his level was about as random as a coin toss. You can run into the guy who sees the pool-sized hoop or the guy who strings the bricks together. Tonight, we know which version we got.
It’s a victory that feels good for the Hornets and it confirms the great momentum in North Carolina. Apart from the road trip at home against the Magic, Charlotte remains on six wins in seven games and several against direct competitors in the Top 8. When it comes to counting, whether it’s for the Playoffs or just the Play-in Tournament, it could make a big difference. With the defeat of the Celtics and the Wizards, the Hornets secure their seventh place while waiting for an opening to join the Top 6. Boston side, we continue to blow hot and cold and the fans will not keep a great memory of this match. It’s up to them to bounce back quickly and, if possible, this Friday against the Blazers.
Terry Rozier had circled this appointment on the agenda and Boston seriously freaked out over Scary Terry. Two and a half years after his departure, the leader has obviously not forgotten the city of clover.
