Generating early offense has been one of Boston’s biggest struggles this season, but in Atlanta Friday night, the Celtics produced one of their greatest starts in recent memory.
Boston erupted for 45 points during the first quarter at State Farm Arena – its highest-scoring frame on the road since tallying 46 in Dallas in January of 1996, according to ESPN Stats & Info.
The entire quarter could’ve qualified as the “Key Moment” of Friday night’s game, but there was one run in particular that stood out during that frame.
From the 6:05 mark to the 3:20 mark, Boston outscored the Hawks 18-5 – yes, that’s 18 points in less than a quarter of a quarter.
