The Atlanta Hawks were back on the road Friday night when they ventured to TD Garden in Boston to face off against the Celtics for the third time this season. With the Celtics missing Kyrie Irving and Gordon Hayward due to injury, the Hawks seemed poised to give the Eastern Conference leaders all they could handle.
Atlanta’s inactives for Friday’s game included only DeAndre’ Bembry, who did not play as he continues his rehab from a left adductor strain and has been shooting with the team as he nears a return.
