The Celtics dropped an overtime loss on Thursday to the Hawks in Atlanta three days after blowing a 30-point lead to … the Hawks in Atlanta.
Here are the takeaways.
1. Let’s start with the thing that seemed to make fans the angriest after the game.
The Celtics’ crunchtime offense was a rough watch again. With a little over a minute left, Jayson Tatum tried to isolate against Dejounte Murray and he created a makeable shot for himself, but he left it short. After Jaylen Brown knocked down a mid-range jumper to put the Celtics up three, Bogdan Bogdanovic buried a 3-pointer that tied the game and forced the Celtics to try to win a tied game in the closing seconds.
