ATLANTA — The Celtics took the Hawks’ best punch in Game 3. They gave them credit for their tough shot-making. But make no mistake, they weren’t happy.
They were punished on the glass. The Hawks had imposed their will on them. A day after the loss – after the Hawks had made this a series, at least briefly – Robert Williams called out the Celtics’ effort. They knew they had to be better.
On Sunday, the Celtics reversed the narrative. And then they regained control of the series.
