The Charlotte Hornets fell to the Boston Celtics in Wednesday night's summer league action.
were unable to best the Celtics in an 84-89 defeat. This year's 6th pick Tidjane Salaün sat the game out, presumably due to it being the second night of a back-to-back. Charlotte's record in Las Vegas now tallies two wins and one loss, making a semifinal berth unlikely, as only the four teams with the highest winning percentage advance.
The going didn't get much easier after the break. A deep shot by Zavier Simpson capped off a 9:0 run by the Hornets, resulting in a 48:39 advantage. Then Charlotte's offense came to a halt, producing fewer good opportunities which led to more and more turnovers. Boston still struggled shooting the ball but got some easy looks on the fastbreak and managed to get within four before the beginning of the fourth.
