00:13ДИНАМИЧНАЯ МУЗЫКА
00:28We're wrapping up the week at the Garden before a four-game road trip.
00:32Here are the starting lineups, brought to you by Jordan's.
00:35For a limited time, get free white glove delivery.
00:37Visit jordans.com.
00:39This Atlanta Hawks starting five, since C.J. McCollum entered it,
00:43second-best five-man unit in the NBA by net rating,
00:46behind only the Charlotte Hornets for the Celtics.
00:49Shireman slides in with no Jalen Brown.
00:52Key matchup presented by Subaru of New England.
00:54There's a lot to love about driving a brand-new all-wheel drive Subaru.
00:58I mean, Jalen Johnson is really having a breakout season
01:00as far as making an all-star team, and everybody knows about him.
01:04And I am so excited about watching Tatum tonight.
01:07No Jalen Brown.
01:09Can he build on what he did against Oklahoma City in the second quarter?
01:13And can he extend that to 30 minutes?
01:16Good test tonight.
01:17Because you know Dyson Daniels will be all over that.
01:19Yeah, they've got a fleet of guys they can throw at Jason Tatum,
01:23perimeter defenders.
01:24Here's the health report by South Coast Health,
01:26providing exceptional care from people who care.
01:29Nikola Butchovic still out with a finger.
01:31Of course, Celtics fans have some PTSD.
01:33When they see one of the Jays listed with an Achilles,
01:35it's tendinitis for Jalen Brown.
01:38Joe Mazzulla said before the game he's day-to-day.
01:42Boots going with that Baker look today.
01:44I like it.
01:46Had a long Friday night.
01:47Took a tie-off.
01:50Long work week for Boots.
01:53Well, he already completed world domination
01:55when he was wearing that turtleneck.
01:56That's right.
01:57Now he worked a 9-5 shift today
01:59as the Celtics control the opening tap,
02:02trying to do something we haven't seen in a while in this series
02:05and win a game at home.
02:07Tony Brothers, the crew chief, J.B. DeRosa and Danica Baruti.
02:10Those are our officials tonight.
02:12That's how my step-up guy and Amish Kata scored.
02:15From my step-up guy who dropped that dime.
02:18I'm looking for Tatum to have all-around game today.
02:22Outplayed Jalen Johnson.
02:23And look at him.
02:24Those two are matched up against each other.
02:29Oh, yes, he was.
02:31Three seconds.
02:34Here's that high pick and roll.
02:35Early pocket pass.
02:38And that was nice.
02:39Patience.
02:40It's a good look from the dunking cam.
02:42It's all about the dunk.
02:44Nikhil Alexander-Walker takes a technical free throw
02:47above 90% from the line this year.
02:49He's averaging more than 20 points per game
02:51after he was at about 9 points per game last year.
02:54Oh, he's having a great year.
02:58Quinn Snyder has led this Hawks team
03:00to wins in 14 of their last 15 games.
03:05One of the hottest teams in the NBA
03:07all the way up to 5th in the Eastern Conference.
03:09It's a big test for them.
03:10I think they've acknowledged that.
03:13There's Johnson having an all-NBA type season.
03:16Yeah, probably a little too much overcommit
03:19on that dribble drive, but
03:23got to make sure you defend.
03:25Got to defend these guys.
03:26They can score it.
03:29Now Kata driving on Okonwu.
03:31Got him in the air and got fouled.
03:33The Hawks on Wednesday in Detroit
03:35won the game against the Pistons in overtime,
03:37but allowed 76 points in the paint.
03:41Yeah, they're going to pretty much
03:43step up to the guys on the perimeter,
03:45not want to give up three-point shooting,
03:47so they're going to Kata early,
03:49and that's a smart decision.
03:52Here's Tatum in the paint
03:53over McCollum for two.
03:56I like how he went quick.
03:59I have a size advantage.
04:00I'm going to use my skill right over the top.
04:03Johnson thought about the three,
04:04now switched on to Hauser.
04:06Hits it back from Dyson Daniels.
04:08Johnson tries again.
04:09Hits again.
04:10Two early threes for Jalen Johnson.
04:13Yeah, if you guys don't know,
04:14Nikhil Alexander-Walker is really good.
04:17Dyson Daniels, an elite defender,
04:19and Jalen Johnson can really hoop.
04:20So, they've got a good roster here.
04:23Johnson the rebound.
04:24He is a stat sheet stuffer supreme.
04:2723 points, more than 10 rebounds,
04:30more than 8 assists per game.
04:32Dyson Daniels left it short.
04:34Shot him in the rebound.
04:35I've always been like Jason Tatum
04:36is the best wing rebounder in the league.
04:39Jalen Johnson.
04:40Oh, yeah!
04:4318-4-3!
04:45I can see that.
04:52McCollum off balance,
04:53got fouled and got the shot.
04:55It counts.
04:55Yeah, McCollum's a crafty scorer.
04:58McCollum's on number 55,
05:00Bailey Shireman,
05:01his first,
05:02first team foul,
05:03CJ McCollum.
05:04All right, watch,
05:05CJ McCollum,
05:05pretty good defense.
05:07Shireman was leaning into him
05:09because the pick and roll was coming.
05:11Smart play by CJ McCollum
05:13just to rise up.
05:15McCollum in year 13,
05:1734 years old.
05:18He is still doing it
05:19at a high level.
05:20He scored their last 11 points
05:22in regulation
05:22in the win
05:24in Detroit Wednesday.
05:25Of course,
05:26no Cade Cunningham
05:27for the Pistons.
05:28The Hawks still beat
05:29the team with the best record
05:30in the Eastern Conference.
05:32White navigates,
05:33shoots,
05:34too strong.
05:41Johnson draws a crowd.
05:43Yek Okonwu won't hesitate to shoot.
05:45Gives it up though to Johnson.
05:47Finally missed a three.
05:48Tatum yanks down the rebound.
05:53JT going back to work.
05:55Bumps Alexander Walker
05:56is called for the offensive foul.
05:58I don't know how this gets called
06:00because Alexander Walker
06:03has hands on Tatum.
06:05There's the hands.
06:08I mean,
06:09I know you have to try
06:10to keep that arm
06:10tight to your body.
06:12You can use your body
06:13to knock a guy off you,
06:15but you can't extend the arm.
06:23McCollum hits the three.
06:24Remember,
06:25when they were here
06:25two months ago,
06:26they led by 20
06:28after the first quarter.
06:29Oh,
06:29they blitzed the C's.
06:32And they played
06:33with a lot of energy
06:33and swag.
06:34Remember,
06:34it was not that long
06:35after we dropped 52
06:38on them
06:38in the second quarter.
06:40And I think
06:41they were embarrassed
06:41a little bit.
06:42Celtics destroyed them
06:44in Atlanta.
06:45JB had 41
06:46in his homecoming game.
06:49Shireman comes up short.
06:51Kanan nearly had the rebound.
06:52Alexander Walker clears it.
06:55Alexander Walker clears it.
06:56Johnson dangerous
06:56in the open floor.
06:59Good defense
07:00from Baylor,
07:01Shireman.
07:03Okonwu doesn't get the bounce.
07:09Hauser runs into it.
07:17Dyson Daniels on the attack bounce.
07:19Johnson ejected by Keita.
07:22Shireman out the gate
07:23sets it up for Hauser.
07:28See if Sam can get himself going.
07:30Struggled a little bit
07:31against Oklahoma City
07:32Wednesday,
07:32but made some big shots
07:34in that Celtics victory
07:36against a team
07:36with the best record
07:37in the league.
07:47The skip from White
07:48to Shireman
07:49pumps it.
07:51That's short.
07:53Taking a lot of threes
07:54for a team that gives up
07:55the ton of points
07:56in the paint.
07:59That'll stay here
08:00with the Hawks.
08:01Oh, this is a great play
08:02by Keita.
08:03He absorbs Dyson Daniels,
08:05gets back into play
08:06to block Jalen Johnson.
08:10You want your bigs
08:11to create that
08:12multiple effort mentality
08:13and Keita has it.
08:19The road team has won
08:21five straight games
08:22in this series.
08:24Alexander Walker
08:25down the hatch
08:26and Joe Mazzullin
08:27cuts an early one.
08:29Told you,
08:30that is good.
08:31Got a strong starting group
08:33with a strong start
08:34in this first quarter.
08:38Garden on a Friday night.
08:40There's nowhere else
08:41I'd rather be,
08:41although the Celtics
08:42have a little bit of work
08:43to do here down
08:44in the first quarter.
08:45They are facing
08:46the two hottest teams
08:47in the NBA
08:47in back-to-back games.
08:49On Wednesday night,
08:50it was Oklahoma City,
08:51and tonight,
08:51it is the Atlanta Hawks.
08:52As Drew mentioned,
08:53they have won 14
08:54of their last 15 games
08:56with the second-best win
08:57percentage in the league
08:59since the All-Star break.
09:00Here's to the doers
09:01presented by Honeydew.
09:02Grab a burrito
09:03with full-court flavor.
09:05They are 15-2,
09:06a plus-11 net rating,
09:07holding teams
09:08to 107 points
09:10per 100 possessions
09:11and leading the league
09:12in points off turnovers.
09:14They've catapulted
09:15all the way up
09:16to fifth place
09:16in the East,
09:17and they're starting five.
09:18An astronomical
09:19plus-24 net rating.
09:21As you'd imagine,
09:22with a win rate like that,
09:24the vibes are immaculate
09:26right now with this team.
09:27Their head coach,
09:28Quinn Snyder,
09:28told me pregame,
09:29it's the connectivity
09:30of this team
09:31more than anything.
09:32He says it's an unselfish group.
09:34They've bought in defensively,
09:36winning the possession battle,
09:37and they pass the ball.
09:40He did not say this,
09:41but those are all things
09:42that I'm not sure
09:43Trey Young does.
09:45Whoa, Abby!
09:46Oh, Abby!
09:47Yeah.
09:47Trey Young is catching strays
09:49on the Boston Hawks broadcast.
09:51That is my expert opinion.
09:53Abby with a drive-by
09:54on Trey Young.
09:55He's chilling in D.C.
09:57wondering,
09:57what did I do?
09:59Well, we saw Quinn Snyder there.
10:01He is one win away
10:02from .500
10:03for his career
10:04in the regular season,
10:05which would make him
10:07the sixth active coach
10:08to hit that benchmark.
10:10And a really smart guy.
10:14That's out of bounds
10:15off the Celtics Hawks ball.
10:16And this whole turnaround,
10:17it's like everyone thinks
10:18it's C.J. McCollum
10:19and all this stuff.
10:20It really started
10:21when Drew Carter
10:21was in the press conference
10:22and asked Quinn
10:24about the red glasses,
10:25the Sally Jesse Raphaels.
10:27You asked him,
10:28and then they've turned
10:29their season around.
10:30So all of Atlanta,
10:32all of Atlanta,
10:34they all owe Drew Carter.
10:36Well, it was that
10:37and one other thing.
10:39A promotion that they had
10:40that got canceled.
10:42Thanks to Luke Cornett.
10:43Those two things
10:44seem to catalyze them.
10:45They turned them all around.
10:47You see Jalen Brown,
10:49who, of course,
10:50likes playing
10:50against his hometown team,
10:52the Atlanta Hawks
10:53at 41 at State Farm
10:55to help the Celtics
10:58embarrass them
10:58on their home floor.
10:59And then the Hawks
11:00came back a couple weeks later
11:01and handed it
11:02to the Celtics.
11:06This is a brotherhood matchup.
11:09Quinn Snyder's a Duke guy.
11:10So it's Tatum
11:11and Jalen Johnson.
11:13JT off the mark
11:14with a three.
11:15We got to attack the paint
11:16a little bit more.
11:17I want to see
11:17how they respond
11:18to us getting to the paint.
11:20The Celtics
11:21with four points
11:22in the paint.
11:23They've taken six threes,
11:24just five twos.
11:26There is Johnson.
11:27Operates.
11:28Gets the bump.
11:30Late whistle on White.
11:33I thought White
11:34was stopped
11:34and in his space,
11:35but let's take a look again.
11:38The defense
11:39is allowed their space.
11:41Theirs to stop.
11:42Oh, no, that's right.
11:43That's a right call.
11:44Jalen Johnson
11:45will be at the line
11:46with two shots.
11:47So I never finished
11:49because Tatum
11:49hit that awesome three.
11:50We got a wholesale sub
11:52going on here.
11:52But Jalen Johnson,
11:54I used to think
11:55that Tatum
11:55was the best wing rebounder
11:57in the league.
11:58Jalen Johnson
11:58probably has that crown
11:59right now.
12:01All right,
12:01lay in number zero,
12:02Jonathan.
12:02Now the Celtics
12:03making that hockey-style
12:05substitution.
12:07White's the only one
12:08who will stay on the floor
12:10as Pritchard,
12:11Gonzalez,
12:12Walsh,
12:12and Garza come in.
12:14I'll give you my opinion
12:15on why Joe is doing this.
12:17It's because
12:18he wants to get,
12:19because he doesn't know.
12:20Without Jalen Brown,
12:21we don't know how
12:22this game's going to unfold.
12:23There's a little bit of like,
12:24all right,
12:24let's see what we have.
12:25So let's get everybody in there.
12:27Let's find the guys
12:27who are playing energetic.
12:29Find the guys
12:30who are hitting shots.
12:31Get everyone in there
12:32to kind of evaluate
12:33your team as you go.
12:35Walsh getting the chance
12:36here is a DNP
12:38in seven of the Celtics'
12:39last nine games.
12:40See if he can give them
12:41a spark.
12:42And Gonzalez
12:43certainly doing that same
12:44with Luka,
12:44but they both
12:45clearly hit the deck
12:47and Jalen Johnson lays it in.
12:48And Johnson.
12:50You mentioned the numbers
12:51with him.
12:52On pace to become
12:53the fifth player
12:54in NBA history
12:55and averaged 22-10-8
12:56for a full season.
12:57Jokic, Westbrook,
12:58the Big O,
12:59and Wilt are the other four.
13:02D-White shows the ball,
13:03kicks it out,
13:04Walsh.
13:05He drives.
13:07Now Ugo with five.
13:09Luka Garza.
13:14Oh, man.
13:15Great hit ahead
13:16to Johnson.
13:17Gabe Vincent,
13:18the former Miami Heat,
13:20and L.A. Laker
13:21into Jonathan Kuminga.
13:23He missed it.
13:25That's a good job
13:26by Garza.
13:32To the rim.
13:34Leads to the rim.
13:36Pritchard obliges.
13:38Called for the offensive
13:38foul.
13:39Vincent sold it
13:40a little bit.
13:40Yeah, his arm was up.
13:44Pritchard turning the
13:45corner.
13:46Good job.
13:47And then right here,
13:48watch the extended arm.
13:50I mean,
13:51obviously he embellished it.
14:13Johnson with ten points
14:14already.
14:15Over Pritchard
14:16using the size.
14:17Man, that was tough.
14:18Johnson.
14:19I didn't know he had that
14:20in him,
14:20the post-up fadeaway.
14:21Yeah, he's been
14:22showing that off
14:23more lately.
14:24I mean,
14:24he came into the league,
14:24he's always dangerous
14:25in transition.
14:26He's added more and more
14:28to his game now
14:28in his fifth year.
14:30Pritchard drives,
14:31kicks it out to White.
14:33He's in the paint.
14:35Man, why are we not
14:36able to finish in the paint?
14:38Man, why are we not able
14:45Johnson,
14:45the drive and kick.
14:47Walsh closed out
14:48out on Kaminga.
14:51Now, Vincent for three.
14:53That's good.
14:54He's been shooting it well
14:55for the Hawks,
14:56who have come in here
14:56and done the same thing.
14:58Atlanta is moving the ball
15:00side to side,
15:01and the Celtics
15:01got to play that defense
15:03for 24 seconds.
15:04Timeout, Joe Mazzullo.
15:08There is nothing like Celtics
15:10basketball at TD Garden.
15:12Head to Celtics.com
15:13slash ticks
15:13to secure seats
15:14to our upcoming
15:15home games.
15:18All right,
15:19let's take a look
15:19at Jalen Johnson's
15:20start to this game.
15:21Marquee matchup.
15:23Adam comes in.
15:24Johnson steps up,
15:25knocks down a three,
15:25knocked down two of those.
15:27Here he is again.
15:28Let's go underneath.
15:29We're not respecting
15:30his shot above the break,
15:31so he's knocking him down.
15:32Here he is in transition.
15:33Little Euro steps,
15:35got great size,
15:36as Drew mentioned.
15:37This is new to me.
15:39The fadeaway
15:41over the smaller defender.
15:43Guy's doing his thing
15:44right now.
15:46It is an 18-2 run
15:48for the Hawks.
15:49They're 5-7
15:50from beyond the arc.
15:51Celtics are shooting
15:522-5 in the paint.
15:56And Atlanta,
15:57who led 38-18
15:58in the first quarter
15:59in their last trip
16:00to the Garden,
16:00is up by 16 here.
16:07Foul is on
16:09Mohamed Gay.
16:11Mohamed Gay,
16:12that is his first,
16:14second team follow.
16:17If we're not going
16:18to make threes
16:19at this point,
16:20we've got to get something
16:21inside to outside.
16:23Feels like we're just
16:25taking first shot options.
16:28This is just one for seven
16:29from beyond the arc.
16:30Five to shoot.
16:31Pritchard.
16:32Major Andrew wouldn't go.
16:34Luka Garza got a hand on it.
16:35So did Walsh.
16:36Extra opportunity.
16:37Ugo for Trace.
16:40Ugo!
16:41Great job.
16:42Luka Garza
16:42on the offensive glass.
16:45And that creates
16:45a three-point
16:48for Ugo.
16:50That creates some energy
16:51in the building.
16:53White
16:54forced to travel
16:55by Johnson.
16:56Violations on the floor.
17:01Derek White moving
17:02his feet.
17:03Swipes.
17:05Stays down.
17:06Late contest.
17:08Great job.
17:10Just give him a block
17:11for that.
17:12Even peeping those blocks
17:13since four and under,
17:14I know.
17:15I told him about it.
17:20And he's climbing
17:21the leaderboard.
17:22Oh!
17:23Luka Garza
17:24for two.
17:25Not a conventional
17:26alley-oop,
17:26but it works.
17:27I thought Garza
17:28was going to throw
17:28that down.
17:30Scal,
17:31I heard you dunked
17:32yesterday?
17:33Oh, yeah.
17:34In a North End.
17:35It's my people.
17:38Scalabrine.
17:39Scalabrine.
17:40He's throwing it down
17:40against a seven-year-old.
17:45Good for you, man.
17:46Getting your
17:47Marcus Johnson on.
17:48You still got it.
17:49White
17:49fouled.
17:54Did they show it
17:55on the gram?
17:56I just,
17:56I heard about it.
17:57To be honest with you,
17:58I wasn't sure
17:59if I believed it.
18:00I might have dunked
18:01this at the North End
18:02if you would have
18:02threw it up to me
18:03like this,
18:03but good job
18:04by Garza saying,
18:05you know what?
18:06I'll just make sure
18:06I get the deuce.
18:10No,
18:11we were playing
18:11knockout.
18:12You know,
18:13just,
18:14I missed my
18:15three-pointer,
18:15get it back,
18:16boom.
18:17Kid's going crazy.
18:22Let's take the
18:23comforts of home

18:25Save up 20%
18:26right now
18:27on Bernie and Phil's
18:28Spring Savings Event.
18:29Mention this,
18:30but the road team
18:31in this series
18:31has won
18:32five games in a row.
18:35Jalen Brown
18:36repping Atlanta.
18:37He's got the Braves hat on.
18:41The Hawks
18:42have won
18:43five of the last
18:44seven
18:44in this series.
18:55the offensive rebound.
18:57Came over here
18:58in the Chris Stops deal
18:59with Golden State.
19:00He got rejected
19:01by Walsh.
19:02Oh,
19:02here we go.
19:03Ugo pushing tempo.
19:06I thought we were
19:07going to get
19:07an Ugo moment.
19:10Pritchard off
19:10the flare.
19:14White pump
19:15and go.
19:16to the basket.
19:17Puts it in.
19:19That's the ball
19:20movement I'm talking about.
19:21A little bit of action.
19:23They got a switch
19:24earlier
19:25so Garza has
19:26great position.
19:27Drive the ball.
19:28See where you can
19:29get in the paint first.
19:32Seltzer responded
19:34to that 18-2 Hawks run
19:36with eight straight
19:37of their own.
19:38Zachary Reese,
19:39Sashay,
19:39last year's
19:40number one pick,
19:41missed the three.
19:42Here come the Celtics
19:44again.
19:44come on Ugo!
19:45They have swung
19:46the tie to this
19:47first quarter.
19:52Two-man game,
19:53White and Luka.
19:54Now Pritchard,
19:55mid-ranger,
19:56money.
19:57That's smart play.
19:59When Luka did the
20:00fake handoff,
20:01two guys win
20:02with D-White.
20:03That's one-on-one
20:04coverage for Pritchard.
20:06defense!
20:08Defense!
20:09Defense!
20:09Defense!
20:10Alexander Walker
20:10snakes the screen.
20:12Walsh got a deflection.
20:14Kaminga retrieves it.
20:16Come on,
20:16Ugo!
20:18Alexander Walker,
20:19the lone Atlanta
20:20starter on the floor.
20:21Three to shoot.
20:22Kaminga nearly blocked.
20:24Got fouled.
20:24Ugo,
20:25let him shoot that.
20:26A bailout foul.
20:31I mean,
20:32if Kaminga makes
20:33that shot,
20:33he makes that shot.
20:36So Kaminga's going
20:37to the back down.
20:38I'm pretty sure
20:39every Celtic
20:39will be good
20:40with an 18-foot
20:42contestant.
20:43I didn't see much
20:43contact,
20:44so I really can't
20:45be mad at him,
20:46but you don't need
20:49to get that foul
20:50right there.
20:53We're at Atlanta
20:54number three,
20:55CJ,
20:55but all I'm not
20:56going to do
20:56again with the Celtics
20:57number six.
20:58Feels like,
20:59without Jalen Johnson,
21:01the team just looks
21:02very normal.
21:04Right now,
21:06Jalen Johnson
21:06is plus 16.
21:16Minus eight
21:17with him
21:17off the floor.
21:18That's when the Celtics
21:18started to make this run.
21:20Final minute of the first,
21:22Tatum's back in the game.
21:24Pritchard launches.
21:25Pitch three.
21:27There we go.
21:29Pritchard!
21:32Look at me.
21:36That's a foul.
21:37I think they'll get
21:38Garza for that.
21:40Ugo asking for a challenge.
21:43But it is on Garza.
21:51Let's take a look.
21:52I think Garza
21:52cleared the circle,
21:53but there's the drive.
21:57Oh, did he get him?
22:04Ugo was asking
22:05for the challenge.
22:06Maybe he thought
22:06it could have been
22:07an offensive foul
22:08on Alexander Walker.
22:09Interesting.
22:10Those are hard to,
22:10those are hard to get
22:11overturned.
22:14Joe already used
22:15two timeouts
22:16in this first quarter.
22:20Tatum's back in.
22:22Big stretch here.
22:24It's a two-for-one chance
22:25for the Celtics.
22:29Pritchard just hit one
22:30from the wing.
22:30now drives,
22:31now drives,
22:31sprays,
22:32Luka Garza,
22:32the cut,
22:33and finished!
22:34That's an excellent pass
22:35by Pritchard.
22:36He checked off
22:37two guys
22:38before the late pass
22:40to Garza on the cut.
22:42And the Garzilla
22:42stampeding down the lane.
22:44Even Garzilla
22:45has a decel.
22:49Jordan Walsh
22:50pound in the ball.
22:52McCollum now picked up
22:53by Pritchard.
22:53Fires.
22:54Missed it badly.
22:56Celtics' ball
22:56as that just glanced
22:57off the rim.
22:58Seas can make this
22:59a one-possession game.
23:01Peyton Pritchard
23:02growing up in Portland
23:04watching C.J. McCollum.
23:05He knows all his moves.
23:07Tyson Daniels
23:09back into the game.
23:10Quinn Snyder's team
23:12opened up a 16-point lead
23:14in this first quarter.
23:15Yeah,
23:15as soon as they took
23:16Jalen Johnson off the floor,
23:17they struggled.
23:19Pritchard taking his time
23:20with only seven to go.
23:22He's got an issue
23:23with his finger, maybe.
23:24Three seconds left.
23:26Pritchard
23:26chopping him up
23:27to the basket!
23:28He drops it in
23:29and the buzzer
23:30beater P taking over!
23:33It only takes one
23:35for that man to get hot.
23:37He made it fade away
23:39and he's been scorching
23:41ever since.
23:43Well,
23:44when Peyton Pritchard
23:45hits a buzzer beater,
23:47the Celtics rarely lose.
23:50Quinn Snyder's team
23:51took a big lead early.
23:53Three-point game
23:54after one.
24:06Boston, the Celtics
24:07chipping away
24:08at the Hawks lead
24:08now down by three

24:15Back here inside
24:16the guard
24:16and let's check
24:17the stats
24:17by Jason Stone
24:18injury lawyers.
24:19Official injury law firm
24:20of the Boston Celtics.
24:22Injured?
24:23Better found stone.
24:24Atlanta's two points
24:25in the paint
24:25were only out
24:26of transition.
24:27But Atlanta
24:28shooting the ball
24:28from three
24:29very well.
24:30You see,
24:30five for 11,
24:31that makes him
24:32six of 12.
24:33That's how Atlanta
24:34is staying in this game.
24:35That was Mohammed
24:36Gaye from straight
24:37on.
24:37Pritchard
24:38blocked by Kaminga,
24:39but it counts
24:40on the goaltender.
24:40It's the first time
24:41I've seen that.
24:43It's almost like
24:43a pistol action.
24:45Throw it ahead
24:46and Pritchard
24:47full head of steam.
24:48Never slowed down,
24:49never veerstepped.
24:50Nice play.
24:51Good little wrinkle
24:52for Joe
24:52out of the brink.
24:54Yeah,
24:54Pritchard is feeling it.
24:56Hit that buzzer beater
24:57at the rim
24:58in the first.
24:59There is McCollum
25:00on the drive
25:00over Tatum.
25:01That should have been
25:02a foul on Kaminga.
25:03You can't screen
25:04a guy sideways.
25:05You've got to be square.
25:09Eight points
25:10for C.J. McCollum.
25:11Jalen Johnson
25:12still on the bench
25:13to begin the second quarter.
25:14Pritchard muscling inside.
25:16It'll be Celtics ball.
25:19All right,
25:20let's go.
25:20Here's the buzzer beater.
25:21Love this crossover.
25:23Watch this play.
25:24Put some extra arc on it.
25:26He didn't get
25:27in that Mohammed game.
25:31Garza flashing.
25:33Tatum zips it over
25:34here to Hauser.
25:36Buzz the tower
25:36of Tony Brothers
25:37with that pass.
25:39Five on the timer.
25:41Pritchard loves
25:41these situations
25:42in the lane again
25:44that time.
25:44Gay got the block.
25:53Too strong
25:54on the shot
25:54over here.
25:55Tatum
25:55with his third rebound.
25:58Playing without
25:59Jalen Brown
25:59for the first time
26:00this year.
26:01JT to the hole.
26:02Missed the shot.
26:03Garza.
26:03Not sure
26:04that's going to count.
26:05Foul.
26:06Foul.
26:06Looked like it was
26:07before the ball
26:08landed with Luka.
26:11Looks like they're going to get
26:12Tatum two shots on the...
26:13Look at Tatum strong
26:15keeping that ball high.
26:17I mean, there's a foul.
26:18They're going to give him
26:19two shots.
26:19They are going to give him
26:20two shots.
26:22So that was...
26:23That would be
26:23missed, rebound, foul.
26:26Tatum at the line
26:27shooting two.
26:30That's...
26:31So they call that
26:31a drag screen, right?
26:33You're in transition.
26:35And Garza comes over.
26:38Oh, they're going to
26:38challenge this.
26:39Yeah, Quinn Snyder.
26:41But he doesn't know
26:42the rule.
26:46I think he knows the rule.
26:47He has an NBA
26:48and a law degree from Duke.
26:49I think he knows the rule.
26:50He found out.
26:51Rookie, I'll tell you
26:52a rule he doesn't know.
26:53He really wanted to
26:54play this about Atlanta
26:55and playing this
26:55out in Atlanta.
26:57He's challenging
26:58the continuation.
27:00The acceleration's going.
27:02Hey, spend your summer
27:03with Junior Celtics
27:04camp presented by

27:08Every camper gets

27:12Register at Celtics.com
27:13slash Junior Celtics.
27:16What'd you say he has?
27:17An NBA and a law degree
27:19from Duke.
27:20I told you he doesn't
27:21know the rule.
27:22Here's the rule.
27:23Okay, so there's a foul
27:25right there.
27:26Hit him, gets the rebound.
27:27He wanted two shots.
27:27It's side out.
27:28He challenges the continuation
27:30and the free throws.
27:31Okay.
27:32But if you challenge that,
27:35it's still a foul.
27:36You lose your challenge.
27:38So I told you
27:39that all that Duke degree stuff,
27:41it's overrated.
27:42Now look.
27:44He might know the rule.
27:45He just didn't want Tatum
27:46to get free throws.
27:47No, no.
27:47I guarantee it.
27:48I guarantee you that.
27:50I know the rule,
27:51which I didn't know
27:52three weeks ago.
27:54And then we found out
27:55the rule.
27:55And I was like,
27:56oh, that's interesting.
27:57That happened in a game
27:58we had where
27:59you'd think maybe
28:00that'd be a successful
28:01challenge.
28:02You would think so.
28:03If it wipes out
28:03the continuation,
28:04but because the foul
28:05still occurred,
28:06it's technically
28:07an unsuccessful challenge.
28:08So the Hawks
28:08lose their ability
28:09to challenge
28:10and they lose
28:11the timeout.
28:12Kispert with a long
28:13three.
28:14Was that the best
28:15trade in NBA history?
28:16They got McCollum
28:17and Kispert.
28:18I'm still just
28:20blown away that
28:20he had the NBA
28:21and a lot of green.
28:23I got him
28:23on this rule.
28:25It's just like,
28:27man, I'm on a
28:27generational run
28:28right now.
28:31A lot of Duke guys
28:32involved in this game.
28:33They're currently
28:33playing against
28:34St. John's.
28:35Guards of the
28:36offensive rebound.
28:37He's fouled.
28:37He's an animal, man.
28:38Guards is an
28:39absolute
28:41pursuit
28:42animal.
28:43Look at his
28:44timing
28:45on going after
28:46this ball.
28:47He's spacing
28:48for Tatum.
28:49And then,
28:50right there,
28:50he is relentless.
28:55It's already
28:56two offensive
28:56rebounds
28:57for Garza.
28:58It's his
29:00interminable
29:00effort and energy
29:02and his timing
29:03and his instincts.
29:04All of that
29:05rolled into one
29:05makes him such a
29:06great offensive rebound.
29:07See, if I knew
29:08what that word would,
29:09then my generational run
29:10would have continued.
29:11But I don't know
29:12what that word means.
29:14Interminable.
29:14It never ends.
29:15It can't be terminated.
29:19Unlike
29:21Quinn Snyder's
29:22NBA
29:22and law degree,
29:23which they just
29:23took away after.
29:25No, we did.
29:27We did.
29:28They might have
29:28known the rollout.
29:29No, there's no way.
29:30They were all shocked.
29:32Tatum's all over
29:33the glass.
29:34Love his defense.
29:35Five boards
29:36for JT.
29:37Celtics down
29:37by seven
29:38early second quarter.
29:41Draws a couple.
29:43Knocked out of bounds
29:44by Atlanta,
29:44one of the best
29:45deflection teams
29:46in the NBA.
29:47This is the best
29:47thing that happened
29:48to Tatum right now.
29:49He is
29:50driving this bus
29:52right now
29:52and it's great to see.
29:54Pritchard catch
29:55and stepped out of bounds.
29:56Basket doesn't count.
29:58Out of bounds
29:58violation.
29:59It leads them all.
30:01Dick Leip,
30:02who gets that
30:02turnover?
30:03Pritchard?
30:04Yes, his second
30:05of the game.
30:08Still one of the best
30:09assists to turnover
30:10guys in the NBA.
30:12That number
30:13at almost four.
30:17Gee, look at that
30:18and we're flying
30:19by Walsh.
30:20Pritchard goes down,
30:22Kispert launches,
30:23missed it,
30:23Tatum with another rebound.
30:24All over the glass,
30:26JT is.
30:29He's the trailer here.
30:32Loops it over
30:33to Pritchard.
30:34Pritchard.
30:38Timeout,
30:39Quinn Snyder.
30:43It might be the
30:45Pritching hour
30:45in the first half
30:46here, folks.
30:52It's weeknights at six.

31:04We're holding off?
31:05Close.
31:06All right,
31:06we'll take a look
31:07at what he's doing.
31:08Drew says this
31:09doesn't qualify.
31:10I like this.
31:10He'll step back.
31:11That's how he got going.
31:12And once he makes one
31:14on a night
31:15without Jalen Brown,
31:17watch out.
31:17Step back three.
31:18Turning the corner.
31:19Look at that.
31:20Checking off.
31:21Garza down the middle
31:22with a lefty layup.
31:24And then his one
31:25beats the buzzer.
31:26High arker.
31:28And then here it is,
31:29the last one.
31:30One-two snap.
31:33Not yet.
31:34Drew says not yet.
31:35Are you wishing
31:36you said Pritch?
31:37No, I said Tatum.
31:38I like to make Tatum
31:39playing.
31:39He's playing great.
31:40Yeah.
31:42These were our step-up guys.
31:44I had Namish Kato,
31:45who's back out
31:45on the floor
31:47defending Jalen Johnson,
31:48who missed the shot.
31:50Out of bounds,
31:50last touch by the Hawks.
31:53So Jalen Johnson,
31:54he was out there
31:56just right now
31:57or he just returned?
31:59No, he was out there
32:00early on.
32:01He was plus 16 early.
32:03It all fell apart,
32:04but it's just been
32:07normal since.
32:09Pritchard has now
32:10scored in double figures
32:11in six consecutive games.
32:14His longest streak
32:15since January.
32:17Five to shoot.
32:18Walsh gets it back
32:19to Pritchard.
32:20In the paint,
32:21gets two more.
32:23Jason Pritchard!
32:24I mean,
32:24Pritchard's relentless.
32:25He just keeps moving around.
32:26Is that a turn?
32:27Oh, gosh.
32:28Walsh almost to him.
32:31For the Celtics,
32:32number 55,
32:33Baylor Shireman
32:34back into the game,
32:36replacing number zero,
32:38Jason Tatum.
32:45Shireman got the start
32:47tonight in place
32:47of Jalen Brown.
32:48JB missing his
32:50eighth game of the year.
32:51Celtics 6-1
32:52without the MVP
32:53candidate this season.
32:56Well, most of those
32:57games were against
32:58lottery teams.
32:59This is not
33:00a lottery team.
33:01Atlanta fifth
33:02in the Eastern Conference.
33:03Celtics on the comeback trail.
33:04Can Tyer take the lead here?
33:07How are we going
33:08to fabricate points
33:09without Tatum?
33:11That's the question
33:12right now.
33:14Light also on the bench
33:15here.
33:15Pritchard has taken
33:16this game over.
33:18Now to Hauser.
33:20Kisbert closed out.
33:21Late shot clock.
33:22Hauser off one foot.
33:24He buries it.
33:25And Hauser!
33:28He's like Hoosiers.
33:34Kata protected the rim.
33:36Fouled Reese's Shea.
33:37Reese's Shea.
33:38That ends a 9-0 Celtics run.
33:41Celtics foul is number 88.
33:42I mean, this is
33:43four seconds
33:44on the shot clock.
33:46Hauser went to work.
33:47Look at this.
33:48Number five, Dyson Dane.
33:49Look at how hard
33:50that shot is.
33:51Number nine, Derek White
33:53replaces Jordan Walsh.
33:55Hitting that over Kisbert,
33:56it did sort of look like
33:57a scene from Hoosiers.
33:58You know, when you watch
34:01some of the older games,
34:02that shot was like
34:03a normal shot
34:04back in the day.
34:09So Hauser is
34:102-for-2 inside the arc,
34:120-for-2 outside the arc.
34:15Reese's Shea with
34:16the three-point play.
34:17Makes it 40-37.
34:20Here's Pritchard.
34:22Hits again!
34:24A moon ball from Pritchard!
34:29Yeah, it's the Pritching Hour.
34:30Okay, it's official.
34:37Johnson trying to get
34:39himself going.
34:40Off the rim.
34:40K to the rebound.
34:52White, the drive.
34:54Traveled.
34:55Oh, I thought he had him.
34:59This one's not easy.
35:00One of the best
35:01perimeter defenders
35:02in the game.
35:04He just rises up.
35:06Drew's right.
35:07I mean, that thing was
35:09higher than the shot clock.
35:11Boom ball.
35:12Boom ball.
35:16Pritchard, when Brown
35:17has been out this year,
35:17averages almost 24 points
35:19a game and nearly
35:20eight assists.
35:22That's the definition
35:23of a step-up guy.
35:29All square at 40.
35:33Daniels gives it up.
35:34Alexander Walker
35:35missed the three.
35:36Pritchard the rebound.
35:39Celtics a chance to take
35:40their first lead
35:41since it was 2-0.
35:44Pritchard to the left hand.
35:46Can't bank it in.
35:47No foul.
35:49You don't see Pritchard
35:50miss those very often.
35:52Sprinting to get back
35:53into the play.
35:54Okongwu too strong.
35:55Pritchard the rebound.
35:56He was just off the floor
35:58on the baseline
35:59on the other side
36:00of the court.
36:01Did he have the energy
36:02to go to work right now?
36:06Hauser.
36:08First three.
36:09Celtics take the lead.
36:11That's a good read
36:12on that dribble handoff.
36:14That's almost impossible
36:15to stop
36:16if you can make that shot.
36:21What a bounce back
36:22from the Celtics
36:23after the Hawks
36:24built a 16-point edge
36:26in the first.
36:27Johnson,
36:28what a block work
36:28over Shireman for two.
36:30Jalen Johnson.
36:32That's a nice addition
36:33to his game.
36:41Shireman Hoist.
36:43Oh, it hits.
36:44That comes up.
36:46Look at that.
36:47Definitely thumbs up.
36:48If you get a roll like that,
36:50nothing more you can do.
36:52Where are the foam fingers
36:53where you've got a thumbs up
36:54from Baylor?
36:56Come on.
36:58Start printing those out.
36:59Get them ready
36:59for the playoffs.
37:02You're right.
37:03Shireman makes himself
37:04available.
37:05Slides up.
37:06Shoots it.
37:09Oh, yeah.
37:10I give that a thumbs up.
37:14He was cheesing
37:15with the thumbs up.
37:16I can't believe
37:17they're not selling those
37:18like on the corner
37:19somewhere outside the garden.
37:20Well, now they will
37:21and you're not going to get
37:22a cut, Scal.
37:23Sorry.
37:25I'm all right.
37:26I'm all right with ideas.
37:28That's why they pay me
37:29to sit here
37:30and come up with these ideas.
37:32By the way,
37:32you've seen the bus one boy?
37:35Bus one boys?
37:36Big three coming out.
37:38Is there a shirt coming out?
37:39Yeah, hoodies, shirts, posters.
37:41Oh.
37:42Oh.
37:43You're going to hook me up?
37:44Yeah.
37:45I think it's Jordan Walsh,
37:48Baylor Shireman,
37:49Hugo Gonzalez.
37:50It's a great group,
37:51by the way.
37:52Luca Garza.
37:54It's a good group.
37:55I'll wear that.
37:56I'll wear an all-white outfit
37:57like I'm in the Backstreet Boys.
37:59That'll be the cherry on top.
38:08A shot from Tatum.
38:09Okonwu with a rebound.
38:11Hawks led this game 25-9.
38:13Since then,
38:13the Celtics 37-18.
38:18McCollum drive kick,
38:19Okonwu for three.
38:21A lot of this Rodgers lineup
38:24and their great plus net rating
38:26has to do with Okonwu
38:28being able to stretch out
38:29and knock down threes.
38:32Offensive foul is called on
38:34Hauser trying to set the screen.
38:36That's such a Tony Brothers call.
38:40I mean, this is a foul.
38:41When a guy goes underneath you,
38:43you're not allowed to move.
38:44And that's a foul.
38:48Doesn't affect the play,
38:49but it's a foul.
38:50Third offensive foul
38:52against the Celtics.
38:53Those account for
38:54half of their turnovers.
38:55Just one for Atlanta.
38:59Johnson hits again.
39:02Good response by Atlanta.
39:04A couple threes,
39:05a layup,
39:06a fadeaway jumper.
39:09You can see why Jalen Johnson
39:11is the face of the franchise
39:12for the Hawks
39:13and why they were ok
39:14getting rid of Trey Young.
39:15Fouls on Alexander Walker
39:17jostling with Tatum for position.
39:19Yeah, I mean,
39:19the new wave NBA
39:20is going to be
39:21versatile defense.
39:23So you've got
39:24Jalen Johnson,
39:26Dyson Daniels,
39:28McKeel Alexander Walker.
39:29All those guys
39:29can guard multiple people.
39:31You don't have to
39:32create defenses
39:33to protect one guy.
39:36And, you know,
39:37that's just how
39:37the era we're in
39:39right now.
39:43Four to shoot.
39:45White to spin.
39:46Fires.
39:48Hits over McCollum.
39:49They're quite like
39:51that isolation,
39:51like his matchup
39:52over CJ McCollum.
39:57Dyson Daniels playing
39:58that low dunker spot
39:59and gets to the other
40:00side of the rim.
40:01Yeah, he's very good at that.
40:03Whether he's playing
40:03the dunker
40:04or he's cutting,
40:05he's always moving.
40:06His lack of three-point
40:08shooting doesn't really
40:08hurt the Hawks.
40:14Tatum fights the cutter.
40:16It's Jordan Walsh.
40:17Jordan Walsh playing
40:19the dunker.
40:19You know,
40:20we haven't done that a lot
40:21this year.
40:22Seeing that guy
40:23in the dunkers fight.
40:24We did it a lot last year,
40:26but not as much this year.
40:28Johnson into traffic.
40:30Daniels again in the paint.
40:33Alexander Walker
40:34for three.
40:37What a great addition
40:38for their team
40:39this offseason.
40:40No doubt.
40:42Fifth in the league
40:43in made threes.
40:46Under three to play
40:47in the second quarter.
40:48Celtics down by four.
40:54Tatum likes the matchup
40:55against McCollum.
40:58Doing a little bit
40:59of everything, JT,
41:00but just two for nine
41:01from the floor.
41:04Alexander Walker
41:05got behind the defense.
41:06Alexander Walker
41:26playing in the short roll
41:29position through three
41:31defenders.
41:31Good cut by Jordan Walsh.
41:37Pritchard, look at him
41:38chomping at the bend
41:38to get in.
41:39There he is right there.
41:40He's not even sitting down.
41:41He keeps grabbing his warm-up
41:43like, hey, coach,
41:44I'm ready, man.
41:45Put me back in there.
41:47My rest is good.
41:49I needed, like,
41:50ten seconds
41:50to get good.
41:52Go, go, go!
41:56Shireman, the blow-by.
41:59Hawks in scramble mode.
42:01White takes advantage,
42:02drives, Dyson Daniels
42:04the block.
42:05No shot clock reset.
42:07White forces it up.
42:1024-7 Celtics turnovers.
42:21Oh, man,
42:21you can't come in
42:22on a shot clock violation.
42:24Never understood that.
42:28I mean,
42:29they do have to
42:29inbound the ball.
42:30Yeah,
42:30I just never understood
42:31that side of it.
42:33You have to be there.
42:36You can't be walking up.
42:39He's going to stop!
42:46Hauser
42:46bodying up Johnson.
42:48Good defense from Sam.
42:51Tatum's not shooting well,
42:52but he's doing a great job
42:53on the glass.
42:54That's six rebounds.
42:56Walsh
42:57knocks it down.
42:59Huge shot for Jordan Walsh.
43:01Put together a pretty good half,
43:03especially defensively.
43:0514 minutes
43:06hits for Jordan Walsh.
43:08He commits the foul here.
43:10And that'll put the Hawks
43:12at the line.
43:12No, I don't think so.
43:15First in the last two minutes.
43:16We're okay.
43:17All right, take a look.
43:18Jordan Walsh
43:19just takes a little bit of space.
43:20They don't respect the J.
43:21He's still got to shoot it.
43:22And he knocks it down.
43:26And my mistake,
43:27thought that was the fifth foul
43:28in the quarter,
43:28but Celtics
43:30only committed four.
43:32Same for the Hawks.
43:36McCollum trying to get the whistle
43:37on Walsh.
43:38He didn't.
43:39Hawks bench up in arms.
43:40Pritchard back in there.
43:43Tatum the trailer.
43:47Great effort on the glass,
43:48but Shireman threw it away.
43:50Now McCollum on the leak out
43:51for two.
43:53Keene.
43:54And the whistle.
43:58Final minute of the first half.
44:00Pritchard.
44:01Diggs inside.
44:02A.J. Pritchard.
44:09Oh, you can't do that.
44:11That's a travel.
44:12Traveling violation.
44:14Celtics ball.
44:35Tatum, that one rattles out.
44:42So you should get
44:42the last shot of the quarter.
44:45Three-point Atlanta lead.
44:55Oh, Shireman called
44:57for the foul.
44:59And now the Hawks
45:00are in the bonus.
45:03Jalen Johnson will be
45:04in line with two shots.
45:06So before the game,
45:07you know,
45:07you find out Jalen Brown's out.
45:08I'm like,
45:09I expect Tatum,
45:10and I picked him
45:11as my step-up guy
45:12to have one of those,
45:13you know,
45:1425-10-5, right?
45:17So I'm on draft teams looking.
45:19Then I go to Pritchard and see.
45:21They had,
45:22he was a,
45:23he scored 40.
45:25It was a plus 2,800.
45:27And then I just looked at it
45:28and I was like,
45:29that's amazing.
45:30What if he has
45:31one of those nights?
45:33Well, he might.
45:34He's in the game.
45:35We're brought to you
45:35by our Bell Insurance.
45:37Here for New England.
45:38Here for good.
45:39You know how you can
45:39scan it, scan it.
45:40I just kept
45:42swiping it over.
45:43I'm like,
45:43whoa,
45:442,700.
45:46Well,
45:46I really hope
45:47you didn't place that
45:48because if you hit him,
45:49you'd have enough money
45:50to retire.
45:50No, no, no.
45:51I didn't.
45:51I didn't.
45:52I just like to look
45:53to see what people
45:53are talking about.
45:55You know,
45:55Giles and all his
45:56this and a hook
45:57and all that stuff.
45:58Yeah.
45:59Last shot of the quarter
46:00for the Celtics.
46:01Steve Tatum can get
46:02himself going
46:03around games.
46:04Dips it inside.
46:05Walsh.
46:06Wow.
46:07Oh, he let him
46:08know about it, too.
46:09Jalen Johnson
46:10talking a little bit.
46:12Man, we are in
46:13for a second half.
46:14Yeah, Hawks came to play.
46:17Looks like Jordan Walsh
46:18is okay,
46:18but Atlanta,
46:20one of the hottest
46:21teams in the league.
46:21Winners of 14
46:22of their last 15.
46:24Trying to win
46:25on the Celtics
46:26home floor again.
46:29Five-point lead
46:30for the road team.
46:31At halftime.
46:31Halftime show
46:32is coming up next.
46:36Pretty much
46:37laughed that off.
46:38Told me we have
46:39the utmost confidence
46:40in Jason Tatum.
46:41He is trying to find
46:42his rhythm,
46:42but he's putting in
46:43the work and he will
46:44get there.
46:44As for the rest of the team,
46:46he said,
46:46we have got to take care
46:47of the basketball.
