- Hornets pace 95.8 in two 2026 preseason games, with 97.4 and 94.2 possessions; Boston is at 110.0, so Charlotte is the likely tempo constraint.
- Boston's 110.0 pace and Charlotte's 95.8 pace point to roughly 99.5 possessions, not the simple 110-possession Celtics environment.
- Cross-efficiency read: Charlotte offense 102.0 versus Boston defense 99.55; Boston offense 121.8 versus Charlotte defense 111.4, for about 217.4 points per 100 possessions.
- Only two preseason games per team: pace_l10_delta is 0.0 for both, so the tempo-control read has a very thin sample.
