Thanks to goals from Jaylen Brown, Jayson Tatum, and Nimes Kroos, the Boston Celtics defeated the Charlotte Hornets 113-102 at home in the 2025/26 NBA regular season, extending their winning streak to four games. Head coach Joe Mazra, in an interview, specifically praised Jordan Walsh for becoming more adept at orchestrating the offense.

Jaylen Brown scored 35 points and had 3 assists for the Boston Celtics in this key game, Jayson Tatum added 23 points and 4 assists, and Nimez Kroos contributed 12 points and 3 assists.

Boston Celtics head coach Joe Mazra said, "Jordan Walsh knows very well that when he's at his best on the defensive end, he can impact the opponent's top players and force turnovers."

"He made some putbacks and touchdowns, grabbed offensive rebounds, and scored inside. He seemed more comfortable on the court in terms of orchestrating the offense."

When discussing the comeback in the third quarter, Joe Mazra shared, "We successfully limited our opponents defensively, then launched fast breaks and got some catch-and-shoot opportunities, and also created offensive opportunities in transition. For me, the key was in some details; we missed two alley-oop dunks in transition. But I think the players did a great job competing on the defensive end, and we gradually found our offensive rhythm."

"Consistency is very important. How is a player's mentality when it's not their turn to play? Can they maintain the same focus and commitment? They still need to keep honing their skills in training. I think this is why Jordan Walsh can seamlessly transition into game form."

In addition, the Boston Celtics will travel to New York to face the New York Knicks in their next regular season game. Currently, the Boston Celtics are ranked second in the Eastern Conference standings.

Joe Mazra continued, "I think Jaylen Brown played very well, on both ends of the court, so I let him stay on the court. Ultimately, we just need to continue doing what we're supposed to do and stick to the winning formula."
