A tale of two halves: 10 Takeaways from Celtics-Hawks
Photo by Maddie Meyer/Getty Images1. The Boston Celtics victory over the Atlanta Hawks was a tale of two halves. The Celtics lost Jaylen Brown less than three minutes into the game due to a sprained right ankle. After that, everything kind of went to pieces for the rest of the first half.
Boston’s defense wasn’t connected, resulting in multiple Atlanta baskets. And the offense was struggling to find their way.
In the second half, it was a different story. The Celtics put the clamps on the Hawks and the offense found a groove.
Considering they didn’t have Brown, and that they’ve struggled with Atlanta this season, this was one of Boston’s better wins this season.
