I’ve rarely seen smart jam off one foot like that. Love it

Closer than I would wish, but a lead is better than the alternative.

Good job Cs keeping the Hawks runs from being too extreme.

He needs to step up. Getting a bit worried he's gonna pull another Houdini in the playoffs.

damn, some really nice isolation buckets this game for smart.
Nothing wrong with having a different opinion - as long as it's done respectfully. It'd be lame if we all agreed on everything :)

Hauser shouldnt sniff the court again tonight! Rather see G Will really. That being said, shorten the rotation and go for the kill shot!

Hawks are a team of shooters. It’s frustrating, but we got this.

Are we real contenders? Or are we a potential fraud?

I say this 4th quarter will reveal a lot...

Credit to the Hawks. They have turned up to compete.

Celts playing well. Atlanta won't go away.

This is where JT and JB need to earn their money.

You gotta love how the rules can change drastically year to year.

Last year Bam was blocking like a fullback, grabbing and everything.

If the Hawks continue to shoot 150% from the field in the 4th, gonna be hard to win

This team hasn't learned a damn thing from last year. Mr cool Tatum is still the same guy, without a sense of fire or urgency and the team follows his lead. And guys here are piling on one of the few guys trying to play with some fire...

Well if the Celtics can avoid getting called for a million illegal screens in the 4th then i like their chances.

Really balanced offensive production, in points and assists alike.

Tatum has a couple of nice blocks, but he really hasn't impacted the game outside of that. Have not liked his offense tonight.

Other than a small number of breakdowns I think our defence has been quite good.
