The Boston Celtics came out afire against the Atlanta Hawks at TD Garden on Tuesday night before things took a scary turn for the worse, the team falling into a deep deficit after star forward Jaylen Brown collapsed to the ground after stepping on an opponents foot.
The Celtics team we grew all too familiar with from the first half of the 2021-22 NBA season seemed to return with turnovers aplenty, poor shot selection and disjointed defense suggesting Boston was headed for their second blowout loss in as many games. Then, in the second half, the Celtics got their acts together and came back for one of their better wins of the season.
Asked what the team did differently after the game, forward Grant Williams replied, “It’s all about just making our offense a little bit easier by getting out in transition and defending with more aggression with less battling.”
