The Boston Celtics started their Game 6 tilt with the Atlanta Hawks with the intensity and focus of a team trying to close out an opponent on the road, but that waned until the latter half of the game’s fourth quarter, when the Celtics turned up their intensity again to finish off Atlanta 128-120. “I thought our guys did a great job at the end of just locking in,” said Boston head coach Joe Mazzulla postgame (via the Boston Globe’s Adam Himmelsbach).
