00:03Atlanta Hawks 117, the Boston Celtics 116.

00:06So you might say, wait a second, the Boston Celtics are laying over two touchdowns in this game.

00:10What gives? How did the Hawks win?

00:12Oh, that's because Trey Young scored 40 points and had 15 three-point shots.

00:15No, no, no. That didn't happen this time.

00:17He didn't play, but I'll tell you who did play.

00:19Mr. Daniels, 28 points. Capella, 18 points.

00:22Johnson, 18 points. Off the bench, Larry Nance Jr., 19 points.

00:26Ogonkwu, 15 points.

00:27A balanced attack knocks off the Super Celtics last night in NBA Cup play.

00:33Not so super.

00:34And the Hawks could be one of the more undervalued teams at where we currently stand for a new season.

00:40And what about my Aussie, Aussie, Aussie, Dyson Daniels with a big performance there, Donnie.

00:45They left him out there for almost the entirety.

00:4741 minutes out on the floor, puts up a career-high 28-piece.

00:51This is a young superstar who, you know, comes up from Australia.

00:55He's still only 21.

00:56We saw him at the Pellies last season.

00:58Didn't get a lot of playing time, but this is either times.

01:01The Hawks have unearthed a couple of new-looking, you know, pieces on offense.

01:06And to take down the Boston Celtics in their building, it's a sign of the NBA, Donnie.

01:11It's such a tough beast to bet on, even going through the NBA Cup.

01:15Any team can come up with the spoils on any given night if you let them hang around long enough.

01:20And that's what happened there for Tuesday night.

01:22117 to 116.

01:23They iced out the reigning champs late in that one.

01:27I got to tell you, though, if I just—I always love to do this.

01:30If I just gave you the box score last night, I said,

01:32forget about who won the basketball game, but I'm just going to give you the scoring here.

01:35Jalen Brown, 37 points.

01:37Derek White, 31 points.

01:38And Jason Tatum, 20 points.

01:40You would think to yourself, Dubsy, that's an easy win for the Boston Celtics,

01:43maybe even a cover at that point.

01:45They don't cover, and they don't even win that basketball game.

01:48Absolutely astonishing to see some of these things play out.
