How to watch Boston Celtics vs Charlotte Hornets

The Boston Celtics are back on the court tonight.

The Boston Celtics’ undefeated start to the 2024 – 2025 NBA season was ended by the Indiana Pacers on Wednesday, with the final score being 132 – 135. The Celtics mounted a staggering comeback in the fourth quarter that led to the end of regulation time and into overtime, where the Pacers were able to snatch a close victory.

The 18-banner franchise will have to contend with the menacing Charlotte Hornets tonight.

The Hornets are something of a wildcard team this season, winning half of their games and losing the other half. The Hornets will be facing the Celtics back-to-back, once on Friday night and then playing against each other again on Saturday night.
