The Atlanta Hawks bounced back from their recent struggles in a major way on Monday night. After losing back-to-back games over the weekend to the Miami Heat and the Orlando Magic, they easily dispatched the 2nd place Boston Celtics on the road at TD Garden.
The Hawks played with an anger and an aggressiveness they hadn’t shown in awhile. It was a complete offensive and defensive performance that helped wash away the bad taste in the mouths of the team and fans.
Atlanta now faces a rather daunting short-term schedule. They will play six games in a row at Phillips Arena, but three of them come against the Cleveland Cavaliers, the Golden State Warriors, and the Toronto Raptors.
