Celtics 89, Hawks 88

How the game was won: Evan Turner hit a driving layup with .2 seconds left as the Celtics overcame an 18-point deficit with a furious fourth-quarter rally. Jared Sullinger had 17 points and 15 rebounds for the Celtics. Al Horford led the Hawks with 22 points and 12 rebounds.

Turning point: The Celtics outscored the Hawks 28-16 in the fourth quarter as the Hawks went cold.

Number: 18.5. The Celtics first-quarter shooting percentage as they made just 5 of 27 shots, including going 1 of 11 from 3-point range.

Next: The All-Star break begins Thursday. The Hawks – those not participating in the All-Star Game – are off until Feb. 20 when they host the Raptors.
