Charlotte received 13 points, six rebounds and four assists from Brandon Miller, and 13 points from Kon Knueppel, who was 1 of 6 of 3-point attempts. Boston built a seven-point lead in the first quarter, which ended with the Celtics leading 27-21. Ron Harper Jr.'s 3-pointer capped a 12-0 run that handed Boston a 37-21 lead with 9:37 left in the second. The Celtics pushed their lead to 53-34 on a Sam Hauser 3-pointer with 5:31 remaining in the first half and led 63-49 at halftime. A Tatum 3-pointer extended Boston's lead to 75-55 with 6:42 left in the third, and the Celtics carried an 89-75 lead into the final quarter.
