00:00Both getting some minutes here.
00:01And they are, but you look at one of the stats which would be key today
00:04would be Jalen Brown.
00:06So far, Jalen Brown, 19 points, 2 for 9 from the field.
00:09He does have 5 rebounds, but only 6 points.
00:11So look for JB to have a real big second half.
00:15That's part of the first half stats by Jason Stone Injury Lawyers,
00:18official injury law firm of the Boston Celtics.
00:21Injured? Better phone Stone.
00:25JB not shooting it great, does have some turnovers,
00:27but 6 dimes, 5 rebounds.
00:31You said he was headed towards the triple-double.
00:38Jason Tatum sitting tonight, night 2 of a back-to-back,
00:41no Tata either, Boots still out, Celtics piecing it together.
00:46Hawks off the offensive rebound, it's Johnson, banks it in.
00:49If they body you up, this is the thing that the Celtics have to do much better.
00:54Bootsy now, because these guys are long, they're athletic.
00:59They've used that to go 15-2 over their last 17 games.
01:09Hauser walks, so Sam getting the start here in the third quarter.
01:12And Hauser, is that that decel step you got there?
01:16This time comes in on the light side, just brings it in.
01:20The way it slows down just a little bit, gets the contact, gets the harm,
01:24gets a foul, shoots a couple of free throws.
01:27Get yourself back in gear if you're Sam.
01:30Good things will happen, but you have to find a way to get Brown involved in this game.
01:36And J.B. got to be the tip of the spear for the Celtics, as he has been all season.
01:43Boy, he's been so exceptional.
01:47Today, a little bit more, getting a little bit too limsy with the basketball in the paint.
01:52And they're not making some of the calls that he would normally get
01:55once he goes in the paint and gets contact.
01:58He took that off-balance three, who was kind of fading behind the backboard.
02:01I don't think we've seen him since.
02:08McCollum lays it home.
02:10He's such a solid player.
02:12I mean, whatever Trey was doing, he is just the opposite.
02:19McCollum was kind of an afterthought in that Trey Young trade,
02:22and he's been excellent for them.
02:25Brown got the whistle.
02:27He'll be on Dice and Daniels.
02:28That's his first.
02:29A couple of free throws here.
02:31Daniels was following him, and Daniels said,
02:34on the floor, but the contact is Brown just kind of faded him in on the backside.
02:42I think one of you said, call Stone?
02:44That was one of those plays, call Stone.
02:46You have somebody run into you from behind.
02:49It's phone Stone.
02:50Phone Stone?
02:51I'm sorry.
02:52I'm sorry.
02:53My bad.
02:54He's trying to give him a free plug, and I'm wrong.
02:58My bad.
02:58No, it's okay.
02:59Jason will be all right with that.
03:01Here's a message from our sister station, NBC10 Boston.
03:05Thanks, guys.
03:06Temperatures will be tumbling to the 40s later this week,
03:08plus showers rolling through over the next few days.
03:11I've got your full forecast at 11 over on NBC10 Boston.
03:18The J.B.
03:19One for two.
03:20One-point Hawks lead.
03:27McCollum might have rushed that one a little bit.
03:29Luka Garza, the rebound is third.
03:32Celtics on the break.
03:33Yeah, last touch by McCollum.
03:39Man, who's in the middle?
03:41Who is right in the middle?
03:43Garza, yet again, getting his hand in.
03:46Hawks had an easy rebound.
03:48Garza made something happen by just being a little funky out there.
03:52Jay Brown.
04:03Brown, that's pretty.
04:05But, okay, he is earning everything because Essence is all over.
04:11Daniels is making it tough.
04:15There's a steal for Jordan Walsh.
04:19Brown hacked on his way to the cup.
04:21And more free throws coming for J.B.
04:24I like the fact that you gave him an opportunity.
04:27And then what you see is a chance to make this steal here.
04:30Quick hands then on the inside by Walsh.
04:33But what I want Walsh to do, accelerate.
04:36Sometimes not defer to Brown and take the ball on his own.
04:41But I guess I'm talking out of both sides of my neck
04:44if I'm saying I want to get Brown more and more involved.
04:51But if you're on the fast break with a teammate
04:53and, you know, Max, you're a star player,
04:55are you cool with a teammate taking it himself?
04:59I don't know if we can say this hell to the note.
05:01You got to give me the ball, man.
05:05Danny H., give me the ball.
05:08You're not a star here.
05:10Danny would say,
05:11Max, I heard you on the Celtics broadcast.
05:13Don't always defer.
05:24Alexander Walker,
05:25the cousin of Shea Kielgis Alexander.
05:28How would you like to see those who guys play one-on-one?
05:31Oh, yeah.
05:31That would be fun.
05:36I was there a whistle.
05:41Second foul on Sam Houser.
05:43I mean, essentially, you think about it like this.
05:46If you have a brother who is from his famous family in Golden State,
05:52I would like to be Steph at the other Curry.
05:54I'd like to be the other one.
05:55He said.
05:58Well, we have a Curry coming in the stick.
06:01Oh, come on.
06:05Johnson trying to get the call.
06:07He didn't.
06:07Set that a nice little NBA career still in the league.
06:11He's currently mourning the Duke loss from yesterday.
06:14Just like Quinn Snyder is, the Hawks coach.
06:18Brown just a little firm off glass.
06:22Oh, nice.
06:23A lob inside to Daniels.
06:26Daniels ran the floor.
06:27Ran by Brown.
06:29He turns.
06:31He turns.
06:32Fourth assist for Jalen Johnson.
06:35He's third in the league in assists this year.
06:37Sixth in rebounds.
06:38And the average is almost 23 points.
06:41It's Houser.
06:45Again, Dyson Daniels doing his best to pound the Celtics' offensive players
06:50as Walsh is called for the foul.
06:54Daniels here.
06:55You'll see this alley-oop.
06:57Stop running.
06:57Daniels behind the crowd.
07:00Elevates.
07:01Just slams that basketball through.
07:06Now, I think one of the things you do now
07:09when you bring Schreiber in the game
07:11is you're going to change the pace of the game a little bit
07:14because he defends a little bit irate.
07:26Oh, Kongwu puts it in.
07:28He's been looking for that shot the whole time.
07:31This time finally knocks it down.
07:33And he's almost 38% from three on the year.
07:36Not afraid to put it up.
07:41Daniels is all over Brown.
07:44I mean, this is what you do if you're a great defender.
07:47You make it difficult.
07:49So, essentially, he's beating Brown from the bus on the end.
07:52I got you here, buddy.
07:59Daniels again in Brown's airspace.
08:02That's a good game.
08:04Garza.
08:05Not shy from downtown.
08:08And he's talking to the Hawks bench.
08:10It insulates Brown because now you can't double-team.
08:16A perfect shooting night for Luka Garza.
08:1916 points to lead all scores.
08:22O'Kongwu with two in a row.
08:27Something when you see a guy, 6'10,
08:30able to shoot the basketball and knockdown shots.
08:34No way.
08:35No way.
08:36Brown, a difficult one over Daniels.
08:37Look at Garza with a hustle.
08:39Saved it to Shireman.
08:41It hit the rim, so no backcourt.
08:48Brown will not be denied.
08:50He is just a bull out there.
08:53Let's have ran through a defender.
08:59Now it's Johnson.
09:00There's that defense from Shireman you talked about,
09:03but Johnson got by him.
09:04He's got by him with the body.
09:07Defense!
09:11This is what Daniels is doing.
09:13Every time Brown moves,
09:14he is keeping a body on him someplace.
09:19Brown will step back.
09:20What can JB do dealing with that pressure?
09:24Move the basketball a little bit quicker
09:27and then re-engage on the backside
09:29instead of trying to dribble through him.
09:31That is a tough position to get in
09:33because so much contact is out there when he's there.
09:36Timeout on the floor.
09:40Mike Felger and Michael Hawley
09:42have the latest on the Celtics,
09:43Patriots, Bruins, and Red Sox.
09:48Well, we talked about Brown before
09:50and him scoring the basketball.
09:51This time, attacks the rim,
09:53gets right there,
09:54and takes a 15-footer.
09:55Does not over-dribble,
09:57and the defense gets there.
09:59Next time down, dribbles in, dribbles in.
10:01Garza protects him
10:02by being able to knock down the long jump shot.
10:05He's insulating Brown
10:07if they're going to double-team.
10:09JB with seven assists tonight.
10:13Last time we saw him
10:14was Wednesday against the Thunder.
10:16He had 31 points,
10:18eight dimes,
10:19eight rebounds.
10:22They're going to need a Hercules effort.
10:28Or Hercules, excuse me, effort.
10:32I want my English teacher to get on me.
10:37Your English teacher's over there on the radio with Abby.
10:42Professor G.
10:44Here is Jalen Johnson off the pump,
10:46challenged by Williams,
10:48and he got the whistle.
10:49The bigs are challenging at the rim.
10:52Brown overran the play here.
10:54Gets his man up in the air
10:56and he just attacks the rim.
11:01I wonder why things happen
11:03with this up fake.
11:04Pump fake,
11:05gets him in the air,
11:06this time gets towards the hole.
11:09Foul.
11:10At least you fouled.
11:11You don't let him get a three-point play.
11:14Let's check the comforts of home
11:15presented by Bernie and Phil's.
11:17Save up to 20% right now
11:18on Bernie and Phil's
11:19Spring Savings Event.
11:22The Hawks mentioned how hot they've been.
11:23They've won 12 in a row
11:25here at State Farm Arena
11:26by an average
11:27of nearly 20 points per game.
11:30A couple of people
11:31who work for the Hawks
11:32who tell me that.
11:33Say how they win all these games
11:35and how they're going to score
11:37140 points tonight.
11:39I don't think that's going to be possible.
11:41I was talking smack to you.
11:42Yeah, as usual.
11:46Figure that out.
11:52Richard back in the game
11:53coming up on the midway point
11:54of the third.
11:58Here is Brown
11:59defended by Alexander Walker.
12:01Nice move to create some space.
12:05Coming to the rebound.
12:16Difficult shot.
12:17McKeel Alexander Walker
12:19who's got 12.
12:20He's his size this time.
12:22Hawks start to put a little distance
12:23and separation.
12:25Get his other to drag him back in.
12:27This is the Hawks
12:29largest lead of the game
12:30at 9.
12:33Richard trying to change things.
12:35He does from downtown.
12:37How do you guard that?
12:39Because you talk about logo.
12:41When I played you get Derrick out
12:43and shoot the number three.
12:44These guys are shooting
12:45from the logo.
12:47Crazy.
12:48Braylon Mullins-esque.
12:52No Tongwu.
12:54It's a right back.
12:56Easy go.
12:58Celtics struggle.
13:00Trying to get it back easy.
13:03And an illegal screen on Williams.
13:0512 Celtics turnovers.
13:07That was offensive!
13:10Just see this picture.
13:12Like, okay, there's the logo.
13:15It's two feet away from the logo
13:17with that jump shot.
13:18And they do it with ease, though.
13:20That's what is the most amazing thing.
13:22We used to use this word
13:24with my grandma used to.
13:25We, from that,
13:26this is, we were chunking it up there.
13:29Chunking it.
13:29My grandma would understand that one.
13:32We weren't shooting it.
13:33Chunking that sucker.
13:34But now,
13:35they are shooting it with ease.
13:39There's between the two,
13:40three players now,
13:42up the end and down.
13:46And that one down
13:47is a 27-footer from Pritchard.
13:49He might be conservative.
13:52Here is McCollum.
13:53Inside Johnson,
13:54who can fly,
13:55but he just batted it to Shireman.
13:59Brown.
13:59Great move down the lane,
14:02but can't bank it in.
14:04Four for 16 tonight.
14:06Kuminga.
14:07Can't get it to fall.
14:09That's horrible.
14:11But we got past the dunked out in here.
14:17There's a foul on Johnson.
14:18They get him with a block.
14:20Quinn Snyder is going to think
14:21about a challenge here.
14:22I don't think he's going to get those
14:24because he just went under him.
14:26Here's the play.
14:27He shoots his leg and is extended out
14:29into the body of him.
14:31I'm not sure why you think
14:32he's going to get that particular goal.
14:35But when I was talking about
14:36poor Brown,
14:37utilizing the dribble,
14:39utilizing the pass.
14:40If he passes the ball
14:41out of that double team,
14:43he gets it back.
14:44Defenders can't isolate
14:46him as much.
14:57Pitchard with 16 points.
14:58He's had the hot hand all weekend.
15:03Muscles inside.
15:05Up.
15:05Won't go.
15:07Try to get the contact.
15:09None did he have.
15:10Oh.
15:11There's Kaminga behind the defense.
15:13Pitchard recovers well.
15:14Nice move, Kaminga.
15:17Just back turned around
15:18and had a smaller man on his back
15:20and just laid it up softly.
15:22Celtics have to connect right now
15:24on the defensive end.
15:26First double-digit margin of the game.

15:44Time now for the FW Webb assist.
15:47This is that lob Johnson to Daniels.
15:50A young man has the ability
15:52to get up in the air
15:53and they found him.
15:55A look-away pass.
15:56If you catch it at the apex,
15:58could have been in one.
16:00Let's quite hit him with the pot.
16:02For a great assist every time,
16:03come to FW Webb
16:05where the customer
16:05is always number one.
16:08I like that thought.
16:11Number one, Jalen Johnson
16:13probably on his way
16:14to an all-NBA selection.
16:17One of two players
16:18leading his team in points,
16:19rebounds, and assists in total.
16:21The only other is Cooper Flagg,
16:23the Mavs rookie.
16:25Ooh, this is Brown.
16:28Brown has that one swirl out.
16:30Gonzalez, the offensive rebound.
16:31It was him and Williams in there.
16:34Hugo can't finish.
16:35Williams gets fouled.
16:36How about the effort
16:37by Amari Williams?
16:38The Biggs have done
16:40a nice job of rebounding.
16:42Just gets inside out,
16:43gets a hand on the body.
16:45Kamiga hits him.
16:47Boom.
16:47Get a couple looks here.
16:49I don't know about this.
16:51Well, Celtic Hawks
16:52not the penalty,
16:53that's why,
16:54but when you tap the ball
16:55in with one hand,
16:56normally you don't have
16:57control of the basketball.
16:58They won't give that to you
16:59this time because
17:00they're over the penalty.
17:01He gets an opportunity.
17:07left-handed shooters,
17:08I've noticed it.
17:09I'm sure you have too
17:10all your life
17:12are usually
17:13dynamic shooters
17:14or they're God-offers.
17:16There's no in-between
17:18a left-handed person
17:19shooting the basketball.
17:23That looked pretty good to me.
17:24Yeah, just a lift of the wrist,
17:26rotation over the ball,
17:29and changed the momentum
17:31just a little bit.
17:33Williams making things happen.
17:36Brown defending Okonwu.
17:38They're going to call
17:39for a goaltend.
17:40I don't think they'll get it,
17:42but it is a foul.
17:44Good block by Williams
17:45on the backside.
17:48Get a chance to see this here.
17:49He goes up.
17:50That ball is still going up.
17:53Maybe it was coming up.
17:56Looked like to me.
17:59Tommy Allen doesn't want
18:00to hear this,
18:01but Johnny Moseley
18:02looked like that
18:03when he was going down.
18:04I'm sorry.
18:06I'm tired.
18:07He had to be a truth teller.
18:14Thomas Williams team
18:15trying to add to a
18:16three-game win streak
18:17and three impressive wins
18:19at that against
18:20Oklahoma City,
18:21Atlanta,
18:22and Charlotte.
18:23So you're talking about
18:24the reigning champs
18:25who had won 12 in a row,
18:26then Atlanta
18:27who had won
18:2814 of their last 15,
18:30and then Charlotte
18:30who's number one
18:32in net ratings
18:32since January 1st.
18:34When you go down
18:35and play a team like Miami,
18:37this could be a problem.
18:39Now,
18:40I'm not sure
18:40what's going on right now.
18:42It's a walk.
18:44It has been a lost season
18:47for the Bucs.
18:47That's the Celtics'
18:48last stop
18:48on this four-game road trip.
18:51Richard had to pick up
18:52the dribble.
18:52Gonzales cuts.
18:54Can't finish.
18:54He'll talk with a block.
18:58Oh,
18:59defense is really
19:00picking up here.
19:06Hugo keeps it alive.
19:13Brown penetrates,
19:14kicks it.
19:15Gonzales hits it for three.
19:17That's what we talked
19:18about before.
19:19Brown can penetrate,
19:21create situations
19:22for other people.
19:25That's eight assists
19:26for Jalen Brown.
19:28Celts within eight
19:29as their bench
19:30productive again.
19:31Daniels short-armed it,
19:33but it rolls in.
19:34That's his shot.
19:35Unbelievable.
19:36You won't believe it,
19:37but that's his shot
19:38of putting that ball up
19:39quickly
19:40with a arc on it.
19:41They just died
19:42once he hit the ring.
19:44Daniels is seven
19:45of eight tonight.
19:48Williams off the pump
19:50into O'Connor
19:51left it short.
19:54He's going to choke
19:55the life out of
19:56the subject here
19:56for their defense.
20:08to me when Vincent
20:10such an unnatural look.
20:12This is what I love
20:13about players like that.
20:15You see one half player
20:16going over to help
20:17assist him.
20:20They just changed the call.
20:22They just changed it
20:23to an offensive foul
20:24on Gabe Benson.
20:25What?
20:26Oh, I'm really surprised.
20:32Oh, young man.
20:34You get a chance to see it.
20:37Get some up in the air,
20:37get some of the popcorn
20:38popper,
20:39and then comes up
20:39with an elbow,
20:40hits him right in the mouth.
20:43Or the Hugo really sell this one.
20:45More with the ball
20:46than anything else
20:47in the face.
20:49But again,
20:50when he plays,
20:51you do whatever it takes
20:53to win the basketball game.
20:59That was kind of strange.
21:02Vincent was already
21:02standing at the free throw line.
21:04He was.
21:04The officials changed
21:05their mind.
21:06Big call though
21:07as the Celtics try
21:08to get back in this game
21:09down by 10.
21:10Brown is fouled.
21:14Well, nice job
21:15of walking
21:17by the defender.
21:19You get a chance
21:20probably to see this one.
21:21as Brown is standing here.
21:23What he does,
21:24he goes by the defender,
21:25but watch this hook
21:27at the end.
21:28That is called a hook,
21:28my friend.
21:31What's with you
21:32and the...
21:32I'm sorry.
21:33You don't want
21:33the truth telling.
21:34What does Scal say?
21:36I'm sorry.
21:37Scal just said
21:38it was a foul.
21:39You can clearly see it
21:42that it was a hook
21:43of the body.
21:44And Scal usually would say,
21:46no, what is that?
21:47And then he'll see
21:48the replay.
21:49Oh, okay.
21:50I see what they're doing.
21:50Let me see what
21:51Rocky Wallace would say
21:52right now.
21:53Ball don't lie
21:53when he missed
21:54the first free throw.
21:56Jalen just three of seven
21:58at the line.
22:01That's what they have
22:02to have an exceptional game
22:03from Brown
22:04on both ends of the floor.
22:06He's been so-so
22:07on his offensive end
22:09considering who he's been
22:10this year.
22:12He's been MVP.
22:15He's had to deal with
22:16a lot of dice and Daniels
22:18to win.
22:19That's an offensive foul
22:21on Atlanta.
22:22They're getting on
22:22Kaminga set in the screen.
22:25That's all that one.
22:28You don't want me to tip
22:30you get a chance
22:31to see this replay.
22:32It's a good foul.
22:33Kaminga hits him
22:34with the body.
22:36Oh, that was a great call.
22:37You were all over it.
22:38She called it
22:39before the official.
22:43Brown again,
22:44driving, rising up,
22:46fouled again.
22:50Kaminga is set.
22:51Now, look at Brown
22:51holding his ankle.
22:53And then he turned
22:54and turned his ankle here.
22:58He jumps up
23:01through a contact.
23:03And he starts to see Brown
23:05and Brown just be aggressive.
23:09He hears the play.
23:10Well, good chance to see it.
23:11Now, look at the contact.
23:12Kaminga with the push in the back.
23:14And that's when you look
23:15at Brown's foot as it comes down.
23:17And he lands on Kaminga's foot
23:20and turns his ankle a little bit.
23:24And when I say
23:25he turned it a little bit,
23:27a man of my age,
23:28I'm calling rescue.
23:30I'm done.
23:32Can you get somebody
23:33in to get me out of here?
23:38I know I'm 70 years old now.
23:40Steps is starting to make me afraid.
23:43Whoa.
23:44Wait a minute.
23:44That looks dangerous.
23:46Especially on the airplane.
23:48Things we come down.
23:49The jetways.
23:51Woo!
23:51Those things can be precarious.
23:53Yes, they can't be.
23:582-9 shooters.
24:03Domingo explodes to the rim
24:05and gets fouled.
24:07That a nice move.
24:10Good chance to see
24:12how he just darts
24:13about the defender.
24:15Sticks his hands in.
24:16Not sure what Gonzalez
24:17got him down.
24:19He kind of brushed him at best.
24:22Domingo kind of weak
24:24in his eyes
24:24if he got brushed
24:25in the eye.
24:26Don't get it.
24:26Don't get it.
24:27Oh, yes.
24:30Don't get it.
24:31Players have a tendency
24:32to do that
24:32just before they
24:33miss the free throw.
24:35Oh.
24:37Gastradamus over here.
24:39I mean,
24:40you're seeing the vows.
24:41You're predicting
24:42the free throws.
24:43Incredible.
24:45What's gonna happen here push out the coaches
24:49They just didn't see it
24:57You see the flashes
25:04He drives it towards a hole here ground is a back stutter step changes direction Brown hits him one of
25:12his he goes in
25:14Oh
25:18It's game
25:20She would really favor the second most for
25:24Defense but the Hawks are playing their game and they're kind of choking the Celtics right now with their defense
25:31ability
25:36Eight assists five rebounds 15 points
25:44Four of 17 shooting for J.B
25:47He had 41 last time the Celtics were in this building and he's called for the offensive
25:53five
25:58Watch the elbow
26:00Brown has a tendency to watch the elbow push off the extended arm like that
26:05Once you get the fiver you're gonna get that particular call
26:1113 turnovers for the Celtics which is above their season average
26:15Just over 12 per game is the best average in the NBA
26:19This is what the Hawks do to
26:21Final minute of the third Atlanta by 11
26:26Vincent hasn't rattled out
26:29That was a big miss
26:30That was a big miss
26:34Plenty of time for the Celtics to chip into this 11 point lead but only shooting 41% overall tonight
26:43It'll be Brown top of the key defended by the smaller Vincent
26:48J.B. tracks it down
26:58That was very very loose
27:07Big defense is stopped right now for the Celtics that need doesn't
27:11Just two seconds separating shot clock and game clock. No way. No way
27:17Wait
27:19Two for two from downtown
27:23Dyson Daniels
27:24At 15% on the season. He's a hundred percent tonight
27:29Blue moon
27:31Sometimes it happens my breath. Sometimes it happens
27:35Well, this is the Hawks largest lead of the night
27:38Up by 14 as we go to the fourth and the Celtics need a comeback in Atlanta
27:47The Celtics we start the fourth quarter and welcome you back inside
27:52State Farm
27:53It's time for the road to victory brought to you by Sullivan Tire. We're always here to get you there.
27:58What you got man?
27:59Well, they gotta stop turning the basketball over
28:00So far you see 11 turnovers by the Boston Celtics
28:04What's the difference right now in this game?
28:06Turning the basketball over and getting better quality shots
28:10It's something that's been forcing a few of these things
28:13It's launching that's been elite defensively over the past month
28:16Stats through three by Jason Stone injury lawyers official injury law firm of the Boston Celtics
28:22Injured better phone stone as Bassey on the catch of the white pass gets fouled
28:27Bassey's been pretty good tonight
28:29This time just gets inside out
28:31A little lob. We just talked about what you can get
28:35Easier shot opportunities because they moved the basketball
28:38Good look here by Derek white
28:41Now if you're big though, you got to make that shot
28:45That's down the first and two
28:47Charles Bassey a native of Nigeria who
28:51Played his college hoops at Western Kentucky
28:53He was a hilltopper
28:55Yes indeed
28:56Playing for Slick Rick Stansberry
28:58Do the hilltoppers well
29:01The hilltoppers in the Charlotte 49ers is a big rivalry, right?
29:08Big Willie, you're coming up with all kinds of UFO, aren't you?
29:12Being you, Brian
29:13Thank you
29:18That's he split him 13 point
29:21Deficit for the seas Daniels has had an excellent offensive night
29:25Domingo too strong
29:27Who has the offensive board?
29:32Seltzer a plus two on the glass they were plus 17 in the last meeting
29:38Get that rebound
29:39As he had it for a second Daniels scoops it up McCollum third try
29:43Not gonna miss again
29:45Talk about second chance third chance opportunity
29:48The Celtics are you feel right now?
29:55When a foul will be on research show
29:57So two quick ones against the Hawks here in the forest
30:00Only good thing going right now
30:02You might maybe give the penalty situations
30:06But the Hawks right now defensively
30:08I put a lot of pressure on this Boston WT
30:12So you would love to have this guy named Tatum
30:17JT sitting by two of the back-to-back
30:19Here's White pulls it back
30:22And a well short coming to the rebound
30:37Joe Mazzula agrees with you
30:40Not much resistance for McCollum that time
30:4218 point Atlanta lead
30:44Early fourth quarter timeout Celtics
30:50Out of the Celtics timeout trying to slow down CJ McCollum
30:53This is the Hyundai drive the Hyundai getaway sales event has deals so right
30:57It almost feels wrong only at your local Hyundai dealer
31:02Too easy
31:04These
31:05Consitions he's getting in
31:06The 10-footer form
31:09And you see him again
31:10This time turning the corner
31:11Laying it up softly
31:12The Celtics have done a great job
31:15Of controlling the initial point of attack
31:17Not so much tonight
31:20He's working on his golf swing
31:21As the
31:22Wow
31:23Brother starts to get one
31:24Masters coming
31:26I don't think Mr. Woods is going to be there
31:31Have you ever been to the Masters fans?
31:33No I have not sir
31:42The Hawks are just deep
31:43They are deep
31:45Played shot clock
31:46White had to force it up there
31:48Wow
31:48Domingo the rebound
31:49Great defense by the Hawks
31:52How good?
31:53Great
31:54Atlanta since the all-star break
31:56Has the third best defensive rating
31:58In the NBA
32:01They were below average
32:03Before the all-star 17
32:08The column can't make it a 20-point game
32:13Small allowed up is going to have to
32:15Think the pace up
32:21Richard and Garza
32:22Each with 16
32:24Time for the team lead
32:31Walsh rising up with Reese's Shea
32:33And he's called for the foul
32:36Got away with one dip
32:40Coming right towards the hole
32:41He's going straight up
32:44And he gets the all-ball
32:46Extended those arms at the last moment
32:50But Quinn Snyder
32:51Yeah
32:51He thinks there wasn't a foul
32:53He's going to challenge
32:56This team leading by 18
32:57You're getting a look greedy right now
32:59Quinn Snyder
33:00Man
33:02Green light special
33:03We'll have to call when you come back
33:07By your favorite honeydew today
33:09Do life
33:10By your New England Chevy dealers
33:12By Jason Stone injury lawyers
33:17All right back here in Atlanta
33:19Unsuccessful challenge for Quinn Snyder
33:21They say Zachary Reese's Shea was drifting
33:24As he challenged the shot by Derek White
33:26Did not go straight up
33:27Or as James Williams put it
33:29He went from point A to point B
33:32And you're not allowed to do that in the air
33:35The body
33:36Went up
33:37I think when you brought the arms down
33:40Into
33:41The shooter
33:49That's the Celtics six missed free throw tonight 71%
33:56I mean I think what they're cheering for right now is
33:58You buy a $200 ticket and they're trying to get in to miss a free throw
34:02So they get a chicken sandwich
34:07No soup for you
34:10Let's see this is it
34:12Celtics have come in with Brown again
34:14We haven't talked about this being the second night of a back-to-back though either
34:20It's true
34:22Celtics seven and four this year on the second night
34:25Looked great last night in Charlotte
34:28Daniels finally missed one offensive rebound Reese's Shea
34:34Okungwu puts it in
34:37It's a 20-point Hawks lead
34:45Max how difficult is it for a player on the second night of a back-to-back?
34:48That's difficult to make images I will get that up
34:51Brown who had a lot of rest but boy
34:53They have done a great job
34:56Of making it difficult almost every shot he's taken to me
35:01Defending that one to get him to 17 points
35:07Reese's Shea splashes a three
35:10Sure night is good night
35:16Hawks are above 45% from downtown as Brown had that one blocked and then strips
35:24It's a jump ball
35:26It's a jump ball
35:27It'll be JB and Reese's Shea
35:28Brown is saying he's got help
35:30And
35:31As he was coming in
35:33Chance to see if Brown is being held here
35:36Brown with a little push off
35:38What did they do?
35:39They knocked this basketball away
35:41It was a live ball and Brown exposed it
35:43They knocked it away
35:49They think the energy level on the second hour back
35:52Is always something with somebody in their beds already
35:55But the Hawks have been playing so well at home
35:58They have another gear to go to
36:01We haven't seen in a while
36:03And they felt like, you know, they beat you in Boston
36:06The time before left
36:07They had a number of
36:09The Hawks have won five of the last eight meetings
36:18Celtics took care of him in a tight one at home on Friday
36:21Show him in that no-dip three
36:23Like he was driving a pant
36:25He's like a catapult or a slingshot
36:29Late shot clock
36:35He's feeling confident
36:37Nice move going back towards the basket
36:39Blue cheese Brown again
36:43Daniels was defending JB
36:44Shireman a more
36:45Conventional release that time for three
36:48Trying to move up
36:50And trying to be a little bit more aggressive
36:51At the initial point of attack
36:53Game not lost
36:54But you can now almost play
36:56Purple basketball for Celtics
37:05Marzo with his sixth rebound
37:07He still hasn't missed a shot
37:09Walsh pulls
37:10He'll make that one
37:13You take that shot
37:14You gotta be dead real
37:21Something's trying to dig out of this hole
37:23Mohamed Gay for three
37:28That's a nice touch by White
37:29That kind of night
37:30You see the energy level of the Celtics now
37:33When their defensive ends start to win
37:36That's the first thing to go is when you play a game like this
37:39And you start to get tired
37:40Not only tired physically
37:42But you get tired of emotions
37:46The Celtics might be very tired too
37:53Oh
37:54Whoa
37:55Alexander Walker was behind the backboard
37:59Still almost made the shot
38:03Shireman driving, kicking
38:05Garza
38:06Thought that one was down
38:09Now six of seven from the floor
38:16Hands from Brown and Garza to steal
38:20All right
38:20Six and a half to play
38:22Eighteen point game
38:23Whoa
38:24Gotta play pretty much
38:26Perfect to have a chance here
38:28Shot selection
38:30Not the best right now
38:32Trying to get him up
38:33Early in the shot clock
38:36Save as much time as possible
38:37But
38:38Celcius 37% from the floor
38:47Attack that rim
38:55Wow
38:56The clear out
38:59Jalen the step back
39:03Garza says I'll take that
39:05Clean up
39:06Two
39:07Catch up ball exploded
39:09Still a little bit of wiggle room
39:12If you can play defense all the way
39:16Time half and post game coverage starts at 630 with pregame live
39:19You can stream all our coverage on the NBC Sports app
39:22Thanks to your New England Cadillac dealers
39:24Official luxury vehicle of the Boston Celtics
39:29Heat and Sixers in a tight one down the stretch right now
39:32The Celtics
39:34In a hole here down by 16 under six to play
39:38The six not impossible but as you said almost the perfect defensive game
39:44The Celtics have to play
39:49Atlanta shooting a 49% from the floor above 41% from three
39:54That's gone little zone action here
40:03Out
40:03And it works
40:04Walsh the deflection seven on the timer
40:06I wish I knew what it was like to be as quick as Walsh was
40:10I'd love to watch him accelerate in the passing lane
40:14Those long arms able to make steals and deflections
40:22Great shot clock again Walsh on the ball as McCollum can't lay it in
40:31So you say you got a shot
40:34So you say you got a shot
40:37Can you defend
40:39In this way
40:40Back to this zone again
40:43Also look a little confused right now with the zone cover never
40:48Under five to play could that be the spark that Brown donk
40:52Okonwu almost had it Celtics ball
40:56Push the tempo
40:58Went to a good shot
41:02Accelerate
41:04Brown switched on to Okonwu
41:06Draws two
41:07Walsh the puck
41:08The drive
41:09Lost it
41:10Garza scoops it
41:11Wow
41:11Scores it
41:13Unreal night for Luka Garza
41:16As we are in the final five minutes presented by Eastern Bank
41:20Join us for good
41:21Crash dummy
41:22Crash dummy
41:23Crash dummy
41:26Timeout Quinn Snyder
41:29Celtics have some life here with 435 to play in Jalen Brown right at the heart of it
41:34Yeah, it is
41:35I mean this time just extends it comes on
41:38Puff
41:39Puff the magic dragon
41:41Here's Garza coming in
41:42The crash boom boom boom boom
41:46Finally gets the ball up
41:47We say to only the affection away when we say crash dummy
41:52Yeah, because he throws his body
41:54Yeah, he does
41:55He doesn't care
41:59Reckless abandon from Garza who's got 20 points to lead the way for the Celts
42:03Ah, gotta get that rebound
42:05That hurts
42:07Alexander Walker slows it down
42:12Shireman in his stance with Johnson
42:15Into a crack
42:16There he goes
42:17It's a jump ball
42:18What a play by Jordan Walsh
42:20Exceptional play
42:22This time here, watch this play as Walsh comes on the backside
42:26Watch these quick hands
42:29Thief
42:29Grabs the basketball
42:31Holds on to it for dear life
42:32Give the jump ball
42:34Critical jump here
42:35You get this jump ball
42:36You can cut this thing down to a little bit more
42:39If Atlanta wins the jump
42:41They'll have only 1.4
42:43To shoot
42:44But they don't
42:44As Walsh gets it back to Garza
42:46Celtskin
42:47Cut this to 10
42:48Brown just left it short
42:50Bow against the Celts
42:52Wow
42:54What an opportunity
42:55Oh my goodness
42:56What an opportunity
42:58Driving in towards the hole here
43:00He's in contact
43:02Not much
43:03And Luka just comes on the backside
43:06Throwing his body away
43:09And I'd hate to be in a mosh pit
43:11But that dude
43:14Hey dude stop it
43:17It's on again
43:19And it held the Hawks scoreless for four and a half minutes
43:23But Johnson makes it a 14 point game
43:28The kick by Brown
43:29Walsh the three
43:30It goes
43:32Oh
43:32That was
43:36Hawks trying to use a little bit this time
43:38Got to get up on the basketball
43:39Make the clock start
43:48Man
43:49They just get tightened up here with a little bit of defense
43:53They'll give Daniels some space
43:55He gives it up
43:58And Shireman defending Jalen Johnson
44:02A triple team ends up with Okonwu off the rim another offensive rebound
44:07Got to get those
44:08Now you just built the clock a little bit more
44:12The Celtics have been such a good rebounding team all year
44:15But
44:16They've given up some critical offensive rebounds tonight
44:20That one leads to
44:21Free throws for Alexander Walker
44:26They're not going to give free throws
44:27They're not going to give free throws
44:28They're not going to give free throws
44:28They should be side out
44:29He wasn't
44:30He wasn't shooting the basketball
44:32This time he beat his man
44:33Great crossover
44:34He threw it nicely
44:35Comes in
44:36Gets hit with the body
44:43This is the second team foul on the Celtics in the fourth
44:53Daniels missed it
44:57Darren just clocked up
44:59Whoa
45:00Whoa
45:01What a shot from Jalen Brown
45:03On the pull up
45:05Coming down
45:06Coming down the stretch
45:09This is an eight point game
45:11As Brown
45:13Works on a well-rounded stat line
45:17Also look confused right now
45:21Alexander Walker
45:22That's a killer
45:23Yeah it is
45:24Come right back
45:25With a three point shot
45:30And Brown hits again
45:32Wow
45:34The hometown kid is heating up
45:36Is it too late though?
45:38Man
45:40The defense here
45:42Celtics
45:47That's too easy
45:49They call him trying to go
45:50Support clock
45:51That's a nice move by Garza
45:53And he finishes
45:53High off
45:54Feet up nicely
45:59Browns it a couple in a row
46:03Daniels trying to make sure he can't shoot again
46:09That might just do it there
46:12That might just do it there
46:18Fans on their feet here at State Farm Arena
46:26There's McCollum
46:28There's McCollum
46:30Brown with his ninth rebound
46:3225-9-9 for JB
46:36Take the speed up here
46:38Pick the speed up here
46:41At the free throw line
46:42Mitty is good
46:44And he's fouled
46:45Wow
46:45Count that one in one
46:47Why would you foul like that in that situation?
46:50Not a smart play at all
46:53Wow
46:54This side
46:56Comes in
46:57Little sidestep
46:59Dribbles in
47:00Hits him with the body
47:01Comes back and just
47:03Taps on him
47:04Now here's the thing the Hawks can't do
47:06They can't challenge
47:07Because they already used their one challenge already
47:11And later then
47:15Alexander Walker furious about that call
47:17It puts Brown at the line
47:20Just nine for twenty-nine from the floor
47:23Nine boards
47:24Nine assists
47:28Twenty-seven points still
47:33Turnovers are going to be the key
47:34To the Celtics lose this game
47:36Ain't given the ball for the rebounds
47:48A foul on a three
47:52Walsh puts Alexander Walker at the line
47:56This one in the bag for Atlanta
48:00Attack it
48:02She's just jump shot
48:05Get the chance to see this one
48:06Get up on the basketball
48:08Do you touch it?
48:09Do you touch him?
48:11Well, they say this thing about landing
48:13If he needs a landing spot
48:15The guy goes up he needs to be able to land freely
48:18Those are called airplanes that land freely
48:21Helicopters
48:21Yeah, that's what you say
48:23You land freely
48:24Not a person
48:26You don't buy that?
48:27I don't buy those
48:28I don't buy those
48:30I guess because
48:31First thing I wasn't a jump shooter
48:34So that took that right out of the equation
48:36Look some of the things
48:38It's a nice game
48:38Just some of the struggles
48:40Like Derek White struggle tonight
48:41Trying to score the basketball
48:43The Brown scored
48:44Later in the basketball game
48:45But didn't have too many other things going forward
48:49So coming up after the game
48:50It's postgame live
48:51Presented by the New England Ford dealers
48:53And Garza's been really good
48:56Oh yeah
48:58He has crashed into so many people
49:01I mean, if we were doing one of those shows like Law and Order
49:04He'd have DNA of everybody out there on his body
49:13Yeah, Luca
49:1420 points, 9 rebounds and a start
49:18Looks like it will not be enough for the Celtics
49:21The trail by attempt with 30 seconds to play
49:25Brown got the whistle on Daniels
49:27Why would you do that?
49:28He was just too close to him
49:30And that should be three shots
49:32Yeah, that was a winning play
49:33Southern says you're not going to win
49:35But why are you reaching out for the basketball
49:38When the guy is taking a tough shot
49:41Hit him on the hand
49:42Could have almost been a four point play
49:44But Brown's release
49:46They just didn't have enough on it
49:52At a certain point at night
49:53It just looked like legs kind of got to him
49:55Second night with back-to-back
49:57But also give the Hawks a lot of credit
49:59For the way they defended the basketball team
50:03They've been defending at a high level for a while now
50:07Big free throws here for Brown
50:09And White's going to check back into the game
50:14The Blues maybe cracked the door open
50:17For a miracle comeback
50:19Okay, so how'd you feel about that game yesterday?
50:23The Duke losing
50:25You see this smile?
50:28You are such a hater
50:30How did you feel, man?
50:35Brown
50:36This is the third one
50:37Celtics trying to get the steal or a foul
50:40I'll put Johnson at the line
50:41How did you feel?
50:43You're from North Carolina
50:44I'm from North Carolina
50:45And my broadcast partner John Grandy
50:47Was talking
50:47In the arena
50:48It just seemed like people were so stunned
50:51I said
50:53In Charlotte
50:55Duke is not
50:57Worshipped like that
50:59In that state
51:00It is the North Carolina
51:02Chapel Hill
51:04Tar Heels
51:05That normally get all their praise
51:07So people like
51:08People think that Duke is
51:10An elitist team
51:11And the way
51:13Why are you smiling?
51:16You don't have anything good to say
51:18Don't say that
51:19I'm gonna hit that
51:21I'm gonna hit that
51:21Cough button
51:24Charlotte is a
51:25UNC Charlottetown
51:27Yeah it is
51:28But
51:28What are you talking about
51:29The Carolinas?
51:30The 49ers
51:31Carolinas is running that
51:32State
51:37Back to a ten point game
51:40Oh
51:44They gotta give Jalen Brown credit for
51:46The effort he's displayed here in the fourth quarter
51:49Trying to drag his team back in
51:51The Celts will come up short
51:53Their three game win streak will come to an end
51:55Joe Mazzoula throwing in the towel
51:58They'll get
51:58He's out of the bench guys
52:0017 seconds here
52:01John Tonje
52:02Max Shulga
52:04Into the game
52:05And I always say this with a game like this
52:06Celtics have played them well enough in the first half
52:09If you get tired
52:10It's in that third quarter
52:11Second now
52:12But back to back
52:13It looked like the Celtics lost it there
52:15This game was tied at halftime
52:18Hawks won the third quarter by 14
52:20And that's gonna prove to be the difference
52:22As they
52:24Get the ten point win
52:25Split the season series with the Celtics
52:28And we should see
52:31Certainly the Celtics
52:32Maybe the Hawks
52:33In the Eastern Conference playoffs
52:4129
52:4110 and 9
52:42For Jalen Brown
52:43Celtics fall by 10
52:44One last break
52:45Back to wrap it up after this
52:47The Celtics
52:48Are you Penguins?
52:49Big service
