‘Throw one back’: Joe Mazzulla knows what went wrong for the Celtics in Game 3 and what they have to do to take Game 4

Celtics coach Joe Mazzulla had one moment in mind as to where his team lost Game 3 to the Atlanta Hawks, 130-122 on Friday.

The Hawks flipped the script on the Celtics in the second quarter. After Bosotn hit nine 3-pointers en route to a 37-point third quarter, Atlanta was practically unstoppable in the second quarter, shooting 15-for-20 from the field to put up 41 points in the frame and carry a 74-67 lead going into the break. It also helped the Hawks set a franchise record for the most points in the first half of a playoff game.
