Jaylen Brown went down early in this one with an ankle injury so we can start by saying "I hope that doesn't hold him out long." As soon as he left, the energy shifted on the court and the Hawks started going on a run. It stayed competitive until back to back possessions where we fouled on 3 pt shots which led to them ending the quarter on a 9-0 run fueled strictly by FTs. The Hawks continued stretching the lead to as much as 17 but ended the half up 14. When the third quarter started, everything changed. The Celtics outscored the Hawks 31-13 in the third and 25-20 in the fourth. Their defense stepped up in a major way but we got massive contributions off the bench including 18pts from both Derrick White, who had a monster third quarter, and Grant Williams, who hit back to back 3s in the fourth clinching this victory. Jayson Tatum was the star tonight though doing a little bit of everything highlighted by his 33pts and 7ast. This is a much needed victory and hopefully a spring board leading into our game Thursday against Ja Morant and the Grizzlies.
