Huerter stands out but Hawks can’t hold lead against Celtics

Kyrie Irving scored 32 points and the Boston Celtics rallied to beat the Hawks 113-105 at State Farm Arena on Saturday night.

Kevin Huerter led the Hawks with 18 points, and fellow rookie Trae Young had 16.

Huerter continued to shine in his fill-in starting role while Kent Bazemore recovers from a sprained right ankle. Huerter has made 45.5 percent of his 3-point attempts to lead all NBA qualifying rookies. He made 4 of 10 3s against the Celtics.

After trailing for most of the game, Boston took the lead with a 9-0 fourth-quarter run, including a go-ahead 3-pointer by Jaylen Brown, who had 14 points.
