Boston Loses In Charlotte



It seemed like everything was in line for the Boston Celtics to repeat as NBA Champions again, but the wheels have suddenly fell of that bus. The Celtics seen a 19 game winning streak vanish and now they have lost for the 5th time in 7 games as Charlotte got them in overtime. Ray Allen shot 7 for 20 and Paul Pierce had a crucial turnover in overtime that really hurt them.

Charlotte's Raymond Felton scored 25 points, rookie D.J. Augustin added 11 of his 20 points in overtime to give the Bobcats a 114-106 win in overtime over the Celtics. It looks like teams have found a weak spot in the Celtics and are using it against them. Of course the Celtics could just not be playing their best basketball right now as well. Either way it will be interesting to see how this all plays out as the season goes along.
