Pels held the Bucks to 45 points at the half.

'90s, early '00s NBA all overs again.

Hawks have a little kryptonite for the Celtics, fam

CJ McCollum is the 7th best player in the NBA

It is what it is, yes, indeed 8-) ...

I'm almost wondering if Boston is actively trying to choose Atlanta as their first round matchup. Granted with the play in there is no way to guarantee that anymore

NCAA games are boring atm

These Hawks are pesky.

Is it me, is Deandre Hunter a much better player without Trae?

I'm now almost convinced Boston is intentionally keeping this game close for clutch game practice, to OT we go

Celtics might want to avoid the Magic, Hawks, Knicks and Pacers in the playoffs.

Another barn burner in ATL (Hawks won the other night against Boston) tonite, headed to OT.

6th best team in the clutch and the difference between them and the #1 Nuggets is marginal.

Murray goes turns into a complete idiot. He was cooking this entire quarter, got the mismatch, and forced the Celtics to double. Just pass the ball why jack up a contested 3. Then he gets a tech.

Why do Celtics want to grind their starters to all >40 min for an irrelavent regular season game?

Statmuse tells me only Jordan, Kobe (x4) and Webber have taken 44 shots or more since the merger.

Murray has 44 attempts
