Hawks' Heroic 30-Point Rally Stuns Celtics Despite Missing Stars
March 26, 2024
The Atlanta Hawks achieved a surprising 30-point comeback victory over the Boston Celtics, finishing with a score of 120-118.
The Hawks were without star players Trae Young and Jalen Johnson during their victory.
Shannon Sharpe criticized the Celtics for frequently losing games in which they had double-digit leads, noting that this issue has occurred in eight of their 15 losses.
Concerns have been raised about the Celtics' ability to finish games and tendencies to lose leads due to poor shot selection.
This loss marks the Celtics' biggest collapse since the previous season, putting a spotlight on coach Joe Mazzulla.
Despite the defeat, the Celtics maintain the best record in the league at 57-15, while the Hawks hold the 10th seed play-in spot in the Eastern Conference with a 32-39 record.
The incident underscores the unpredictable nature of the NBA and the need for teams to stay focused and determined, especially as the playoffs approach.
