Recapping every Game 1 in the Eastern Conference

After an exciting first two days of the NBA Playoffs, the Eastern Conference already has some storylines to keep an eye on. Let's take a look at some of them.

Boston Dominates Atlanta

In the opening game of the 2-7 matchup in the East, the Celtics put it on the Hawks early. The dynamic duo of Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown was on full display, helping to bury Atlanta in a 30-point halftime hole. Derrick White, Marcus Smart, and Rob Williams were all very effective for the C's, while the defense held the Hawks to just 99 points.
