The Boston Celtics started their seven-game homestand with a strong defensive performance on Sunday night, securing a 113-103 victory against the Atlanta Hawks at TD Garden. The win was characterized by solid ball movement and shot selection by the Celtics, allowing them to score effectively despite their notable struggles from beyond the arc vs. the Hawks.
One of the key factors in Boston’s success against Atlanta was their robust defensive presence. The team came to play with tight coverage, multiple blocks, and plenty of steals, making it difficult for the Hawks to execute their usual offensive plays all night long.
The top-to-bottom defensive effort contributed to the Celtics’ success on their home court this weekend.
