Game 1: Just like the regular season
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
I’m tired of typing the same thing game after game, Hawk fans. I’m tired of typing that if the NBA only allowed the Hawks to play one half of basketball, they would be world champs. But alas, the NBA doesn’t, so the Hawks aren’t
What happened in the third quarter? The same thing that always happens: The opponent adjusts their game plan, the Hawks never do.
They were within nine at halftime and they lost by 23. Looks like Boston adjusted and the Hawks didn’t.
Kevin Garnett only had 16 points and Paul Pierce had the same number. You can’t blame Boston’s Three Party on this one. This was a total team effort by the Celtics.
I just hope by game 2 the Hawks coach with the .32 winning percentage adjusts. If he doesn’t, this series will be over real quick.
