Avery Bradley shed his defense - first label Saturday, collecting 31 points and setting career highs with 11 rebounds and eight three - pointers in a win against the Hornets. He and backcourt mate Isaiah Thomas were thorns in the Hornets' side all night, combining for 55 points on 51 percent (20 - for - 39) shooting with 10 three - pointers overall. Boston's collective 48 and 48 percent success rates from the field and three - point range, respectively, keyed a hard - fought victory that included a 33 - point fourth quarter by the Celtics. Charlotte's offensive attack continues to inordinately rely on Kemba Walker, who has 53 points over the last two games. As was the case Friday versus the Heat, Nicolas Batum was the only other member of the first unit besides Walker to tally a double - digit point total, with the other three starters shooting a combined 7 - for - 19 from the field.
