A Twitter user wrote he got his father tickets to a Boston Celtics game for Christmas, but there was a problem— the game will be against the two-win Atlanta Hawks.
The Hawks took the 10-win Celtics to the wire on Monday night, but lost the game 110-107.
The Hawks Twitter account decided to get involved and convince the Celtics’ fan that watching the Hawks play might not be the worst thing.

The Celtics (10-2) saw the interaction and decided to respond to the Hawks.
