With 33 seconds left in the first half on Sunday, an Isaiah Thomas hoop put the Celtics up 46-45. Boston then failed to score for the next 5:11 of game time, and the Hawks used a 17-0 run to build a 62-46 lead midway through the third quarter.
Things were looking bleak for the C's, but some spectacular play from Thomas, Marcus Smart and Jonas Jerebko helped get them back in it. Maybe of even greater significance though, was the fact that Atlanta also inexplicably lost the ability to put the ball in the basket:
Four minutes into the third quarter, Kent Bazemore hit a 3 to put the Hawks up 62-46.
