The Hornets drop two in a row. Four takeaways from the Hornets’ loss to the Celtics.

CHARLOTTE, N.C. — The thing about this Charlotte Hornets team is that you never know which team will show up each night.

For a five-game stretch in early February, the Hornets struggled to reach 100 points. In recent games, they’ve done it with ease.

But Wednesday night’s game against the Boston Celtics was more of a struggle as the Hornets dropped their second consecutive game against a team they needed to beat.
