There was plenty of buzz surrounding Sunday night’s game between the Celtics and Hornets, more than one would expect from a preseason matchup.<\/p>\n
For the first time in four years, Terry Rozier entered TD Garden as a member of the visiting team<\/a>, Kemba Walker not only played in a Celtics uniform for the first time but he did it against the only NBA squad he’s ever played for prior to Boston, and fans waited for less than an hour before they started a “WE WANT TACKO!” chant. Meanwhile, through all the commotion and hoopla Jayson Tatum put together a stellar performance that led the Celtics to a 107-106 win over the Hornets<\/a>.<\/p>\n He finished 8-for-14 from the floor, including 3-of-8 from deep on his way to 20 points. Tatum was solid in his offensive approach — a well-balanced attack of transition offense where he got to the rim for easy buckets and precisely picked his spots from behind the arc.<\/p>\n
