NBA Playoffs 2016: Boston Celtics vs. Atlanta Hawks LIVE SCORE UPDATES and STATS, Game 5 (4/26/16)

The Boston Celtics play the Atlanta Hawks in Game 5 of their NBA Eastern Conference Playoff series on Tuesday, April 26, 2016, at Philips Arena in Atlanta.

The best-of-seven series is tied, 2-2.

We'll have up-to-the-minute scoring and statistics here throughout the game.

Boston must avoid the poor starts that plagued the team in each of its first two games in Atlanta, including a Game 2 debacle that left the Celtics trailing by 21 points midway through the first quarter.

"I wouldn't recommend 24-3 again. Just generally speaking, that would be a bad thing," coach Brad Stevens said sarcastically.
