All five Celtics starters committed at least 2 turnovers to lead a 14-turnover performance on the night. Atlanta only committed 9 turnovers on the night. So, Atlanta was plus-5 in taking care of the ball.
Boston amassed 6 offensive rebounds on the night. Atlanta pulled down 14 of their own misses. The Hawks were plus-8 on the second chances.
So, how does Boston win a game in which they spot Atlanta 13 extra offensive plays and 3 free throws? That would be the power of the 3-point shot. The Celtics shot 21-for-46 from deep, while the Hawks shot 7-for-32 from beyond the arc.
It doesn’t matter how many of the “little things” battles you win. You get outshot from 3 by 14 makes, you’re losing 9 times out of 10.
This is every player in Boston’s history who wore the Celtics’ No. 9 jersey for at least one game as of September 2022. https://t.co/RSUdrl4wRo
