1. The Hawks did nothing in Boston. They held leads for just 4 minutes and 56 seconds combined in the four games. They had a lead for :23 in Game 1, 1:26 in Game 2, :55 in Game 5 and 2:12 in Game 7.

2. This blowout had as much to do with the Celtics' defense as it did with the Hawks' offense. The Celtics had 10 blocks, forced 16 turnovers and had the Hawks shooting just 23.9 from the floor.

3. There was little help from the youngsters, who came up so big in games in Atlanta. Al Horford had just eight points, Josh Smith had just seven points and Josh Childress just six points.
