Thanks to Isaiah Thomas who scored a career-high 42 points. Celts down Hawks again in an overtime and tie the series at 2 in Game 4.

After losing two straight on the road, Hawks moved ahead 3-2 with a 110-83 rout on Tuesday. Although home court has been massive in this series, as no road team has won yet through five games, the visiting Hawks closed out Boston in Game 6, 104-92.
