The Boston Celtics needed a great game against the Atlanta Hawks to get their spirits back following a trip defeat to the Orlando Magic on Friday afternoon. Perhaps still smarting from the Magic setback, the Celtics pulled up a competent if unglamorous 113-103 victory against the Hawks.
On a night when Boston shot just 27.7% from long, the Celtics defense restricted Atlanta to its lowest point total of the season, while Boston won the rebounding battle by 15 points. The Celtics also helped themselves by almost tripling the Hawks’ 5 steals and shooting 80% from the free throw line to Atlanta’s 63.2%.
Let’s take a look at some of the top photos from the Celtics’ 17th game of the 2023-24 NBA season against the Atlanta Hawks.
