Boston Celtics Game Day Recap

Mask-Less JB Goes Off! Celtics Win!!!


Listen Later

The Celtics beat the Atlanta Hawks 129-121 and take a 3-1 series lead! Mazzulla has talked all year about winning the margins and that is what the Celtics did tonight. After getting destroyed on the boards in Game 3, we saw the Celtics outrebound the Hawks 49-42. We also saw the Celtics beat them 18-8 in fast break pts, 56-44 with pts in the paint and 5-4 in blocks. Obviously winning the margins is important but having guys step up is just as important. JB started this game 1-9 from the field and then took his mask off and went nuclear. He ended the game with 31pts 4reb 3ast on 12-22 from the field and 3-4 from 3 so if you do the math out there, he was 11-13 from the field after taking his mask off. Tatum also had a tough start offensively but, like JB, also ended up with 31pts. The shooting splits were much less efficient than JB BUT he did go 11-12 from the FT line which made up for it. Tatum also put out an All Defensive performance with 3 highlight blocks in this one.

Outside of the Jays, we had some really solid performances throughout. Marcus Smart was excellent once again with 19pts 4reb 4ast on a very efficient 8-14 from the field and 3-8 from 3 but also came up with a couple of massive defensive plays. Timelord was huge in this one adding 13pts and 15reb along with one of the biggest hustle plays of the night diving on the floor preventing a JB turnover and punching the ball right back to JB for a huge dunk to go up 123-113 late in this one. Derrick White and Brogdon both played really well in this one as well contributing at a super high level while also adding serious efficiency. Horford, despite going scoreless in tonight's game on his 2 failed shot attempts actually played pretty well also as he led the team in plus/minus (+17), assists (5) and steals (2). This was a really solid game offensively. Defensively, the Celtics came out really strong but, once again, really struggled defending Trae using drop coverage in the 2nd half. To put things in perspective, we held the Hawks to just 53pts in the 1st half and gave up 68 in the 2nd half. Celtics still have some stuff to clean up BUT they came away with a 3-1 series lead and a chance to wrap this series up in Game 5 on our home court!
