BOSTON — The Celtics led the Hawks by 30 points at halftime in Game 1 of their first-round playoff series when Cedric Maxwell called to Dominique Wilkins across the media dining area in TD Garden's underbelly.
"Nique!" the former Boston star turned broadcaster, holding his laughter, hollered to his Atlanta counterpart.
"I give," the Hall of Famer responded, conceding the game and maybe the series 24 minutes into it. "I give."
It took all of 11 seconds for the Celtics to establish dominance in the opener.
