Game 82 of the regular season saw the Hawks matchup with the Celtics on Sunday afternoon. All of Atlanta’s normal starters — save for the ramping up De’Andre Hunter — had the day off, whereas the Celtics rested their normal starters minus Derrick White.
The Celtics got threes up early and often — hitting 6 of their first 11 field goal attempts all from deep range — but here Saddiq Bey counters with one of his own early in the contest.

Atlanta and Boston went deep into their bench, as was expected, but the lone Hawks starter had himself a productive first quarter with nine points, two rebounds, and a thunderous dunk.
