Tidjane Salaün Scores 16 Points in Hornets Preseason Loss to Celtics
Tidjane Salaün posted 16 points for the Charlotte Hornets in a preseason exhibition that ended in a 93-114 defeat to the Boston Celtics. He was on the floor for 22 minutes and shot 5-for-9 from the field, including 4-for-8 from three-point range and a perfect 2-for-2 from the free-throw line. Salaün added one rebound, one assist, recorded four turnovers and three personal fouls, and his plus-minus was -8 while he was in the game.
His fellow French player, Moussa Diabaté, contributed 3 points and 5 rebounds in 23 minutes.
