The Boston Celtics took a commanding 3-1 series lead over the Atlanta Hawks Sunday night with a 129-121 win on the road. The Celtics now have a chance to punch their ticket to the next round if they can grab a win on Tuesday.
Six Celtics players scored 13 points or more, and Boston’s offensive approach was smooth and consistent. On the other side of the ball, we saw a little bend to the defense, but it never came too close to breaking, in part thanks to a few key tweaks from head coach Joe Mazzulla. All told, it was all Boston in Game 3, even if things were at times a bit close for comfort.
