Bradley, Thomas Lead Celtics Over Hornets, 98-93

BasketballCHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) — Avery Bradley scored 23 points, Isaiah Thomas added 21 points and 13 assists, and the Boston Celtics snapped the Charlotte Hornets’ four-game winning streak with a 98-93 victory on Saturday night.

Jae Crowder added 16 points and seven rebounds for the Celtics (14-10), who have won seven of their last 10 games. Boston bounced back after a heartbreaking double-overtime loss on Friday night to Stephen Curry and the unbeaten Golden State Warriors.

The Hornets had a chance to tie the game late but Nicolas Batum’s 30-foot jumper off a side inbounds play with 6.6 seconds remaining missed everything. Evan Turner put away the game with a layup.

Batum led the Hornets with 21 points and eight rebounds, and Kemba Walker had 16 points. Charlotte came in with a 10-3 record at home, but shot just 11 of 35 from 3-point range.
