Take the kids for Chinese food. Concede to the fried-rice induced haze and fall asleep on the couch with the Celtics up big. That’s how I envisioned my night going.
Wrong.
The Celtics overcame an extremely slow start and nipped the pesky Hawks, 109-106. It was your classic closer-than-it-should-have-been-against-a-shitty-team win. How close? Boston needed a brazen Marcus Smart three-pointer and Daniel Theis block on sharpshooter/carnival barker Trae Young in the final seconds to secure the victory.
Celtics can use film of first quarter as evidence why Kemba Walker should be an All-Star starter.
Brown/Hayward/Tatum in 1stQ: 2-14 FG, 0-4 3PT, 4 PTS. Hawks up 32-19.

FYI – Kemba Walker was out with the flu.

Marcus Smart, in the pick and roll, quite a bit down the stretch of the third quarter there. Making some nice passes to Kanter, and then on this play too. https://t.co/WWGKDsfhM2

Seven straight points from Jaylen Brown. Just a monster stretch from him in transition.

Trae is a grifter and these refs are willing accomplices.

I want these refs on trial

Theis with the BIG block for the C's to close out the win, then things start to get chippy with Marcus Smart & a few Hawks
