[This is from what I saw and the notes I took. Please excuse spelling, grammatical, and typing errors as I haven't been getting much sleep and I am trying to type in as many summaries as I can. Times listed indicates time _left_ in the quarter, half, game and/or overtime. I am assuming that you know who plays for which team and I sometime abbreviate teams' names to two or three letters. I'm going to use present tense even though the games are over because I think present tense shows more of the emotion and I don't have to convert my notes. Are you ready for this game? Comments, questions, suggestions, and praise welcomed.] Charlotte Hornets vs Boston Celtics in da Gahden Reggie Lewis DNP because of concern about his fainting in the last game. 1st Quarter: Brown gets offensive rebound and a high arcing layup.
