ATLANTA -- De'Andre Hunter scored 24 points, including a clinching 3-pointer with 9.2 seconds remaining, and the patched-together Atlanta Hawks rallied from a 30-point deficit Monday night for a stunning 120-118 victory over the NBA-leading Boston Celtics.
The Celtics had won 20 of 22 and brought a nine-game winning streak into State Farm Arena -- a run that certainly appeared in no jeopardy when Al Horford's 3-pointer put Boston up 68-28 with just under 4 1/2 minutes left in the first half.
But the Hawks, clinging to the final play-in spot in the East and one of the league's most disappointing teams, launched a comeback out of nowhere with All-Star guard Trae Young and three other key players sidelined by injuries.
