It may only be preseason, but the Boston Celtics picked up their first win with the newest members of their team Sunday night.
Boston welcomed the Charlotte Hornets to TD Garden for the first of four preseason games and was able to eke out a 107-106 win. Jayson Tatum led the way with 20 points, while Javonte Green (15), Kemba Walker, Carsen Edwards (11) and Enes Kanter (11) all reached double-figures.
C’s fans also got their first look at Tacko Fall and were pretty pumped about it, judging by their “we want Tacko” chants followed by the ovation he was given.
It overall was a fun night for Boston. Check out some of the highlights from the game:
