After a Game 1 to forget for the Atlanta Hawks, they looked to bounce back in Game 2 and shock the Boston Celtics. The starting lineup was unchanged from Game 1, and Trae Young and company looked to come out with a different fire than the previous game. A win here could steal homecourt advantage for the good guys, but it would take a monumental effort to accomplish that with all the momentum against them.
From the jump, the Hawks had an entirely different energy as compared to the game on Saturday. Hawks were jumping in passing lanes and causing havoc, and that was leading to scores on the opposite end.
