Celtics fall to Hawks 104-92, get eliminated from playoffs

After another, lets say, less than stellar shooting night, the Boston Celtics lost to the Atlanta Hawks 104-92 and were eliminated from the 2016 NBA Playoffs. Much like the previous three losses in the series, the Atlanta defense stifled the C's offense and Boston did no favors for themselves with their shooting performance. Despite making some noise in the fourth quarter, the C's offense was borderline unwatchable for much of the game. Too much quality passing from the Hawks led to too many open looks and Boston couldn't catch up.

Isaiah Thomas finished with a game-high 25 points and 10 assists, and Jae Crowder finished with 15 points and six rebounds.
