Celtics-Hornets Preview

(AP) -- Regardless of the outcome of their next game, the Boston Celtics probably won't be satisfied with their play in recent weeks.

In their final game before the All-Star break, the Celtics visit the New Orleans Hornets on Wednesday.

After going 6-11 from Dec. 27-Jan. 31, Boston (32-17) seemed to have turned things around, winning three straight, but it struggled again in a 96-89 loss to Orlando on Sunday. (MORE)
