Hawks down Celtics 112-106 led by Taurean Prince and Dewayne Dedmon
The Hawks ripped off bucket after bucket, erasing a nine-point lead and forcing the game to a deadlock. Still, Brad Stevens held Al Horford, Jayson Tatum, Jaylen Brown, Terry Rozier and Jayson Tatum in their warm-ups on the bench.
Dewayne Dedmon splashed a three, putting the Hawks up 106-104 for a moment, but Jonathan Gibson splashed a two above the free throw line. But the overwhelming offense poured in three consecutive shots and Shane Larkin botched a layup with 16 seconds left that would’ve gotten Boston back within two with 16 seconds left. Atlanta won 112-106.
