It looks like Vucevic hurt his hand or finger on that last post up. He was getting checked out during the timeout and now he's back in the locker room

Somebody call me if we go on a run. I’m about to switch to Unrivaled.

If that isn't Boston's night in a nutshell. A little momentum, Brown gets to the rim, the ball spins out.

then it's Kalkbrenner dunk, Jaylen blocked, Jaylen tech, Coby White spins a layup in and one ... instead of Boston down 15 and momentum, Charlotte goes back up 23.
