Celtics end trip with thud

NEW ORLEANS - The Celtics’ locker room was extremely quiet. No NCAA Tournament games were on the television. Disappointment could be read on each player’s face. You would have thought Boston finished its eight-day, five-game trip winless.
NEW ORLEANS - The Celtics’ locker room was extremely quiet. No NCAA Tournament games were on the television. Disappointment could be read on each player’s face. You would have thought Boston finished its eight-day, five-game trip winless.
But in striving for perfection, the Celtics went home disappointed after completing its trip 4-1 following a 113-106 setback to the hot Hornets last night in front of a boisterous, sellout crowd of 18,280 at New Orleans Arena.
“We don’t like it. We don’t like to lose,” coach Doc Rivers said. “I told the guys, ‘Good trip, but we lost a game that we gave away on turnovers.’ I don’t know why we would feel good about that.
“Having said that, in the whole picture, it was a terrific trip. Going 4-1 on this trip was terrific. But it stings a little bit when you know tonight if you just take care of the ball and stay solid, there is a good chance you could have had a 5-0 trip.”
The Celtics opened the trip with an expected victory at Milwaukee. Next was a rare sweep of the Texas Triangle as Boston overcame a 22-point deficit to win at San Antonio last Monday, snapped Houston’s remarkable 22-game winning streak Tuesday, and staged a late rally to beat Dallas Thursday. The Celtics became the first team since the Kings in 2001 to accomplish a sweep in Texas.
But last night, Boston fell apart in the final quarter, getting outscored, 32-17. Stingy New Orleans (47-21) has allowed only 40 points in its last three fourth quarters. Hornets All-Star forward David West scored 37 points by nailing 15 of 25 shots and sinking all seven free throw attempts. Boston allowed 32 points off turnovers overall.
