Celtics Now a Win Away From Soaring Into Second Round of Playoffs After Win Against Hawks

Boston got big plays at both ends of the floor from Jaylen Brown (31 points) and Jayson Tatum (31 points) down the stretch, and are now one win away from moving on to the second round to face Philly.

ATLANTA — Malcolm Brogdon getting booed every time he touched the ball is one of those things you never expect to see or hear.

Someone other than Jayson Tatum or Jaylen Brown leading the way offensively for Boston most of the night, that’s different, too.

Confetti raining down on to the court in the first quarter only added to the unusual nature of the game.

It was weird and wild Game 4 for most of the game, only for some semblance of order restored down the stretch.
