Jayson Tatum scored 34 points, added nine assists and collected eight rebounds as the Boston Celtics routed the Charlotte Hornets 119-80 on Friday night, ABC News reported in an ABC News wire report. According to the outlet's summary, Derrick White contributed 18 points for Boston.

ABC News said the result was Boston's seventh win in its last eight games. The report's headline describes the contest as NBA Cup play, but the summary did not expand on the tournament's format or explain how the result affected the competition's standings.

The summary listed Tatum's points, assists and rebounds and reported them without comparison to his earlier performances, which the summary did not mention. It also gave no halftime score, no attendance figure and no lineup information.

The summary did not include a quarter-by-quarter breakdown, statistics for Charlotte players beyond the final score, injury information, or comments from either team. It also did not name the city where the game was played.

Because the material available to The Continental Gazette is a summary of a wire story, this account has not independently verified the individual totals or the final score. Readers seeking the complete account can consult the ABC News report linked above.
