Hornets' Defense Shines Under Coach Lee

On March 30th, the Charlotte Hornets have stepped up their defense big time this season

under new head coach Charles Lee, who came over from the Boston Celtic staff.

Teens like theirs, with stars such as Lamello Ball, used to struggle on that end,

but now they're holding opponents in checker and key match-ups.

Earlier this week on March 29th, the Hornets faced the Celtics at home and Charlotte

and came up short in a close loss. Despite the defeat, their defensive efforts stood out,

especially in containing Boston's top score, Jason Tatum. Coach Lee praised the team's grit

after the game, noting how they battled without backing down. He highlighted their strong work

on the boards, limiting Boston to just eight offensive rebounds against one of the league's best

crashing teams. The improvement shows in these competitive showings where the Hornets scramble well

and force tough shots. It's a sign that Lee's schemes are clicking, turning past weaknesses

into strengths. With this momentum, expect the Hornets to keep building as the season rolls on,

proving they're no longer an easy out-on defense. That's the story for today. Boston Celtics news
