So if you’re looking for clarity on the Celtics’ first round opponent, here’s a spoiler…you won’t get it.
These numbers won’t change much over the next few weeks…although the Hawks did jump up a few points with their 4-game win streak.

17 offensive rebounds leading to 28 points for the Hawks on Thursday. Some bad luck on long bounces off Murray missed 3s but also some tough ball-watching lapses for Celtics in key spots.

Dejounte Murray was Kobe-esque last night:
✅ 44 PTS
✅ 7 REB
✅ 7 AST
✅ 18-44 FG
✅ 6-19 3P
Murray had career highs in points, FG made, FG attempted, and 3P attempted, setting @ATLHawks single-game records in the latter two categories.

De’Andre Hunter connected on his 100th three-pointer of the season with his third make from deep tonight. It’s his second straight season with at least 100 triples and the third such season of his career. – 8:56 PM

Clint Capela has been pretty good on the boards tonight, particularly the offensive glass. But he’s been solid on defense too while staying pretty disciplined. Just picked up his first w/ 8:12 to play in 3Q. – 8:55 PM

Tough layup miss there by Pritchard at the buzzer. #Celtics lost the shot margin, 44-42, but shot 2 more 3s and tied 5-5 in makes. ATL wins rebounds 23-19. 12-1 C’s in free throws. 6-8 BOS in TOV. – 8:36 PM

HALF: Celtics 63, Hawks 59
This game certainly has the feeling of a playoff game. Hawks have been hanging around but just haven’t strung together enough stops to get a lead/keep it.
Both teams shot over 50% from the floor in 2Q. – 8:35 PM

#Celtics lead #Hawks 63-59 at halftime. Porzingis 17, Tatum 14, White 9, Brown 8; Murray 19, Bogdanovic 12, Capela 10 and 10 rebs. – 8:35 PM

Horrendous rebounding half for Boston. Capela is probably the best offensive rebounder in the sport this year though. – 8:33 PM

@WilliamsLaurenL
There’s a disagreement between Ed Malloy and Ray Acosta. Malloy who was on the baseline saw the elbow from Tatum to Krejci’s face and called it an offensive foul.
Acosta came in and called it a block.
Now Snyder has to challenge – 8:22 PM

@GwashburnGlobe
Now Vit Krejci is called for a block on Tatum although it looked Tatum’s elbow struck him on the mouth. #Hawks challenging. #Celtics playing in mud so far tonight. – 8:21 PM

Wow. Another charge, this time on Tatum, reversed on the floor after an official’s conference and Hawks will challenge anyway. – 8:21 PM

1Q: Celtics 29, Hawks 28
1Q has been really a game of runs with the game being tied 4 times and 6 different lead changes.
The Hawks were efficient to open going 13-of-24 from the floor with DJM accounting for almost 80% of the Hawks scoring 12 p, 5 a 10 p from assists – 8:07 PM

Interesting first touch for Tillman, who caught the ball above Porzingis screening and hit a running hook shot over Bruno attacking him on the drive. Tillman has mostly been spacing, shooting out of the corner on offense. – 7:58 PM

#Hawks are out of mind for many, like they were 1 yr ago, due to injuries & a worse season than 1 yr ago, but you still see the impact of Snyder’s coaching, how sharp they are offensively and the attention they pay to the margins where the #Celtics usually dominate. Potential 1R. – 7:46 PM
