1. After the Game 5 debacle, we served up some hearty slices of blame pie. It’s only fair, after the Boston Celtics figured it out and executed down the stretch to closeout the Atlanta Hawks, that we serve up from compliment cake.
This win featured contributions up and down the roster and from Joe Mazzulla orchestrating things on the sidelines. Trailing by three points with 6:24 to play in the game, Boston went on an 11-0 run over the next 4:29 to take control and win the series.
The Hawks went 2-for-11 from the field with two turnovers over the final six minutes of the game.
