Two games in Georgia, two losses for the Boston Celtics. Their two losses to the Atlanta Hawks mark just the third time this season that they have lost two games in a row.
Rather than blowing a 30-point lead, as they did on Monday, Thursday’s loss was defined by a lack of rebounding and Dejounte Murray’s monster performance. He dropped a career-high 44 points on 44 shots.
The game went to overtime, but Boston wasn’t able to come up clutch when it mattered. They shook up their late-game offense in overtime, but it wasn’t enough, as Murray hit a dagger with 0.
