"Over the next seven minutes, the Hawks got blazing hot, and the Celtics went icy cold, and the result was a 25-6 run that pushed Atlanta's lead to 32-11. A pair of 3-pointers by Anfernee Simons trimmed the deficit a bit, but the Hawks pushed it back to 20 by the end of the quarter, and the Celtics never really challenged again"
"Still, in the interest of explaining that bad day at the office, the Celtics were beaten badly in two crucial facets of the game. First, the Hawks were 18-for-42 (42.9 percent) from three, while the Celtics were 9-for-34 (26.5 percent), which meant the Hawks scored 27 more points from deep. Brown was 0-for-5, Payton Pritchard was 0-for-3, Derrick White was 1-for-5, and Sam Hauser was 2-for-6."
