(AP) -- The Boston Celtics woke up on Christmas morning with a 27-and-2 record, the best 29-game start in NBA history. They currently own the league's third-best mark this season at 29-and-7 following their fifth loss in seven games, a 114-106 overtime setback at Charlotte Tuesday.

Raymond Felton scored 25 points for the Bobcats, who entered with a 12-and-22 record. D.J. Augustin provided 11 of his 20 points in the extra session, including a three-pointer and two free throws during a 7-0 run.

Paul Pierce had a game-high 28 points for the Celtics, who led 79-72 entering the fourth quarter.
