Atlanta Hawks Blowout Boston Celtics 114-98
The Hawks knocked off the Boston Celtics by feasting in the paint, dominating the glass, and locking down the Celtics on defense. They held four of Boston’s five starters to fewer than 10 points. Dwight Howard dominated while he was in the game. He was ejected in the third quarter after receiving his second technical foul for hanging on the rim. Despite Howard’s absence, the Hawks still came away with an easy victory.
