The top scorer for the Celtics was Isaiah Thomas with 28, and Avery Bradley trailing behind him by 9 with scoring 19 points. Thomas and Turner each had 7 assists. The points and assists was enough for a season-high for Thomas.
Leading for the Hornets was Mo Williams with 31 points. Al Jefferson and Gerald Henderson were under Williams by 17 points and put up 14 for the team.
Celtic guard Avery Bradley told "Celtics 24/7" that Isaiah Thomas and Jonas Bradley make the team look better both offensively and defensively. Writer Adam Himmelsbach for the Boston Globe caught Thomas saying, "Coach just wants me to make plays, and the guys want me to make plays.[They're] like, 'We're gonna follow you. Just make the right play.' When your teammates are saying that, it's unbelievable confidence. It makes it easy for me."
The Celtics expected to struggle after the trades of Rajon Rondo and Jeff Green. However, the team has a spark of confidence going for them because they are winning. Himmelsbach of the Boston Globe covered forward Jae Crowder saying, "But I'm a winner. You brought me here, and I like to win games."
The game was truly a nail biter for any Boston fan. After a horrendous second quarter, the fans began to worry that the C's blew their lead. The determined team picked it up in the third quarter and gave the fans a thrilling fourth quarter. Avery Bradley had a few dunks, Isaiah Thomas drove in for several layups, and various players hit three pointers.
Marc D'Amico of the Boston Celtics page writes, "It didn't really feel as if the Celtics trailed by 16 points during this game. That's because they erased that deficit in a heartbeat."

I think you incorporated your quotes very well and along with the pictures, they helped me to stay interested and intrigued. You also explained how they never gave up, and after watching the game myself, I agree and thought they played phenomenally.
