Jaylen Brown, Al Horford and more

The Boston Celtics picked up a win against the Charlotte Hornets on Friday night. The 124-109 win was marred by some questionable actions in the fourth quarter, including Grant Williams effectively tackling Jayson Tatum in the halfcourt. Regardless, Boston's win brought the season's mark to 5-1.

Both sides were missing some key pieces heading into the contest. Al Horford was sidelined for the Celtics, and Mark Williams and Brandon Miller were both sidelined for the Hornets. Meanwhile, Nick Richards, who started the contest, exited midway through the game, forcing Charlotte to be without its top two centers.
