Boston Celtics Beat Atlanta Hawks 129-121

Recap of the Boston Celtics' Game 4 win over the Atlanta Hawks

Summary

Sunday night's Game 4 matchup between the Boston Celtics and Atlanta Hawks got off to an inauspicious start for the home team. Atlanta was never able to recover from Boston's early lead, losing the game 129-121 and falling behind 2-1 in the series.

Jayson Tatum and Derrick White powered Boston to a 12-point lead at halftime. However, it was Jaylen Brown who provided the knockout blow with 22 second-half points after shedding his obtrusive face guard.
