1Q: Celtics 29, Hawks 28
1Q has been really a game of runs with the game being tied 4 times and 6 different lead changes.
The Hawks were efficient to open going 13-of-24 from the floor with DJM accounting for almost 80% of the Hawks scoring 12 p, 5 a 10 p from assists – 8:07 PM

Interesting first touch for Tillman, who caught the ball above Porzingis screening and hit a running hook shot over Bruno attacking him on the drive. Tillman has mostly been spacing, shooting out of the corner on offense. – 7:58 PM

Those mid-post touches Porzingis has been getting should be a feature of the fourth quarter offense. – 7:54 PM

5:04, 1Q — Vit Krejci picks up his second foul and sends Derrick White to the line for an and-1.
Otherwise Vit has been pretty solid with his assignment – 7:52 PM

A fan just hit the Harrah’s half-court shot here at State Farm Arena. Genuinely thought he would miss when I saw his dribbling but he just won $10k wearing a De’Andre Hunter jersey. – 7:48 PM

#Hawks are out of mind for many, like they were 1 yr ago, due to injuries & a worse season than 1 yr ago, but you still see the impact of Snyder’s coaching, how sharp they are offensively and the attention they pay to the margins where the #Celtics usually dominate. Potential 1R. – 7:46 PM

Xavier Tillman told me he dealt with some swelling in his left knee he had to take some medication to get down.
“Definitely will have to manage it down the stretch for sure, but I’m good.” – 6:58 PM

Al Horford and Jaden Springer are out tonight. Holiday still questionable, so it seems like that will be a game time decision. Last time the Celtics had their full starting unit was March 7th against Denver – 5:27 PM

JD Davison is listed as out for the #Celtics on 2-way assignment (Maine is playing at College Park again), but he’s out there too after suffering a left ankle sprain on TUE. Wasn’t a great sign that he left the game in a boot. Maine only has two games left before the playoffs. – 3:59 PM
