Tillman was acquired by the Celtics at the trade deadline two years ago in 2024. He played an important role in the C’s winning the 2024 NBA Finals, including guarding Luka Doncic when he did see the court. Tillman averaged 2.2 points and 1.8 rebounds in 14 games (one start) for the Celtics this season.

HOUSTON (AP) — El novato Kon Knueppel anotó 24 puntos y LaMelo Ball agregó 20 para ayudar a que los Hornets de Charlotte doblegaran el jueves 109-99 a los Rockets de Houston, con lo cual extendieron a ocho su número de triunfos en fila.

There is a distinct, undeniable energy pulsating through the Charlotte Hornets right now. It’s the kind of momentum that transforms a standard Thursday night road game into a statement piece.
