New on BSJ: Whether it’s on the team or somewhere else, Boston needs to find some shooting, and fast bostonsportsjournal.com/2021/11/18/kar…12:52 AM
Brian Robb @BrianTRobb
The #Celtics rank 27th in 3-point shooting and have shot 35+ percent from 3 in a game just four times this season. On the problem that Brad Stevens may need to address sooner rather than later masslive.com/celtics/2021/1…11:34 PM

I asked Kevin Huerter about his hamstring: “It’s OK… It’s coming along. It might nag for a few weeks, but there’s nothing seriously wrong with it, just something we’ve got to monitor and obviously continue to get treatment for it.”
Huerter had 19 points tonight, 5-7 from 3 – 10:52 PM
Mark Murphy @Murf56
One bright spot – Tatum’s finding a groove. “It’s gonna come. I’m not worried, I put in the extra work all the time, so I’m going to feel like myself again. Hopefully being more efficient like tonight. Felt a little more like myself than I have. Hopefully I get back in the flow.” – 10:50 PM
Boston Celtics @celtics
“That game is special,” Jayson Tatum says of our upcoming matchup with the Lakers Friday night. “Everyone knows the history between the two franchises and I’ve been fortunate enough to be a part of that going on five years now.” – 10:45 PM
Sarah K. Spencer @sarah_k_spence
“… You’re just starting to see his game slow down and when he does slow down and finally pick his spots, the game’s so easy for that dude.”

Steve Bulpett @SteveBHoop
If you want to get consistent offense out of Aaron Nesmith and Romeo Langford, you’re going to have to commit to giving them consistent touches and shots.
Especially in Nesmith’s case, it’s hard for a young player to develop a rhythm and shoot with confidence in limited minutes. – 10:25 PM
Boston Celtics @celtics
Jayson Tatum found a rhythm tonight, but as a team, we weren’t able to crawl our way out of a hole following the third quarter. nba.com/celtics/gamere…10:17 PM
Atlanta Hawks PR @HawksPR
The Hawks dished out 28 assists against the Celtics this evening, marking the fourth game this season of handing out 25+ helpers and second straight contest.
Atlanta is averaging 25.4 APG in seven games played at State Farm Arena this season. – 10:14 PM
Dave McMenamin @mcten
Asked LeBron James on his way out of the arena tonight if Friday in Boston indeed would be the day he returns to the lineup: “I hope, I hope,” he said. – 10:09 PM
Sarah K. Spencer @sarah_k_spence
Nate McMillan on Boston: “Defensively, the way they’re playing small-ball, it was a challenge for us, because we’re not really a switching team, but we had to make some reads and some adjustments out on the floor.”
Said the Hawks figured it out and kept control of the game. – 10:04 PM
Sarah K. Spencer @sarah_k_spence
Nate McMillan: “I thought Cam was really good tonight on both ends of the floor.”
Reddish had 19 points and three steals vs. Boston tonight. – 10:01 PM

Up next: at Boston on Friday. – 9:59 PM
Boston Celtics @celtics
“He started off hot tonight, very aggressive overall,” Coach Udoka says of Jayson Tatum, who scored 34 points tonight. “It’s just a matter of feeding him and keeping him aggressive when he gets in that mode.” – 9:59 PM
Jason Walker @JasonWalkerNBA
Meanwhile, the Magic beat the Knicks in the Garden by six, 104-98. Hawks beat them, the Bucks, and now the C’s all by double digits since that brutal gauntlet of Western Conference title candidates. – 9:55 PM

Trae Young registered his NBA-leading seventh points-to-assists double-double of the season in tonight’s win. Young tallied 18 points and a game-high tying 11 assists in 35 minutes. – 9:50 PM
Brian Robb @BrianTRobb
After tonight’s loss to Hawks, Celtics are now shooting 32.2 percent from 3 on the season (27th in NBA). – 9:49 PM
Atlanta Hawks PR @HawksPR
The Hawks are 6-1 at home this season, and have won 13 straight regular season home games vs. the East dating back to last season. It’s the longest active NBA streak and ATL’s longest vs. the East since 15 straight in 96-97. – 9:46 PM
Keith Smith @KeithSmithNBA
The Celtics offense is average (at best) if everyone is healthy. Missing a key guy and they struggle to crack 100. – 9:44 PM
Chris Kirschner @ChrisKirschner
Hawks win their third straight game and beat the Celtics 110-99. Hawks are now 7-9 on the season.
Collins: 20/11, 9/13 FG
Huerter: 19, 7/9 FG
Reddish: 19, 8/14 FG, 3 steals
Young: 18/11, 4/12 FG – 9:43 PM
Sarah K. Spencer @sarah_k_spence
Hawks beat the Celtics, 110-99, and have now won 3 straight on this 5-game homestand.
Making up some ground, as Nate McMillan wanted.
Hawks move to 7-9.
Collins: 20 pts, 11 reb
Huerter: 19 pts
Young: 18 pts, 11 ast
Reddish: 19 pts, 3 stl – 9:43 PM
Jason Walker @JasonWalkerNBA
John Collins means “No Whistle” in Classic English. – 9:41 PM
Keith Smith @KeithSmithNBA
Not enough quality touches for Tatum in the second half on a night where he had it going. – 9:39 PM
Keith Smith @KeithSmithNBA
Late-game rebounding remains an issue for the Celtics. – 9:38 PM
Mark Murphy @Murf56
That big Trae Young drive, coast-to-coast, came off a made Tatum free throw. Not ideal. – 9:37 PM
Atlanta Hawks PR @HawksPR
John Collins has compiled his third game of 20 points and 10 rebounds this season … He has 47 in his career, the most by a player in the 2017 NBA Draft class (Jayson Tatum is second with 28). – 9:36 PM
Keith Smith @KeithSmithNBA
Random thought…next version of Team USA should maybe feature John Collins. Feels like he’d be a really good fit in the international game with the way he can play inside out. Especially now that his defense has improved. – 9:32 PM
David Morrow @_DavidMorrow
Can Reddish is still really intriguing. – 9:30 PM
Sarah K. Spencer @sarah_k_spence
Another good defensive play from Cam Reddish, who is up to 19 points and three steals – 9:30 PM
Keith Smith @KeithSmithNBA
This has been one hell of a game from Reddish. He’s all over the place tonight in a good way. – 9:29 PM
Abby Chin @tvabby
#Celtics in the bonus for the last 6:38 here in Atlanta. Gotta get some stops, though, down 11. – 9:27 PM
Keith Smith @KeithSmithNBA
All caught up on the Celtics-Hawks.
Feels like a game where Boston really needs Jaylen Brown. Too many offensive gaps when Tatum has sat tonight. And the defense can’t get enough stops for Boston to get over the hump thus far. Mini-runs are nice, but then Hawks take control back. – 9:25 PM
Brian Robb @BrianTRobb
2020-21 version of Jayson Tatum is back tonight but so is last season’s Celtics defense. – 9:21 PM
Chris Kirschner @ChrisKirschner
This is certainly the most in control Cam Reddish has looked all season. – 9:18 PM
Sarah K. Spencer @sarah_k_spence
This is a great Cam Reddish game (11 pts, 2 stl, 1 ast, 1 blk, making heads-up plays).
Hawks will take a 91-77 lead on the Celtics into the fourth quarter. – 9:13 PM
Sean Grande @SeanGrandePBP
91-77, Hawks after 3/
The story to this point…Atlanta has made 13 3’s.
None of them from Trae Young.
Celtics entered the game with the best road defense in the NBA and the best defense period over the last two weeks. hawks shooting 57% from the floor and 42% from 3. – 9:13 PM
John Karalis @RedsArmy_John
Hawks put up 33 points in that quarter. The Celtics are really missing Robert Williams defensive (and Jaylen Brown). – 9:12 PM
Chris Kirschner @ChrisKirschner
Hawks up 91-77 over the Celtics at the end of the third.
Huerter: 19, 7/9 FG
Collins: 16/11, 7/8 FG
Young: 12/10
Bogdanovic: 12, 4/10 3pt FG – 9:11 PM
Kevin Chouinard @KLChouinard
I am pleased to see Gorgui Dieng playing. – 9:10 PM

Jayson Tatum just played the 10,000th minute of his NBA career.
5947 points
1932 rebounds
823 assists
347 steals
188-115 record (.620)
5 playoff series wins
2 all-star games – 9:05 PM
John Karalis @RedsArmy_John
Young is roasting the Celtics off the dribble – 9:05 PM
Chris Kirschner @ChrisKirschner
That was a great heads up play from Cam Reddish. Came up behind Dennis Schroder, who wasn’t paying attention, to poke the ball loose, recovered it and threw it up to John Collins for the layup.
Hawks up 10 over the Celtics – 9:05 PM
Atlanta Hawks PR @HawksPR
Second in the NBA in assists per game entering tonight (9.1 apg), Trae Young has reached double figures in assists for the seventh time in 16 games this season … He has nine in three other games. – 9:03 PM
John Karalis @RedsArmy_John
Tough sequence there for Boston. Smart missed layup then he goes under on Bogdanovic which leads to a 3…. then a missed alley oop for another Bogdanovic 3.
4 point game goes to 10 over 26 seconds – 9:02 PM
Sarah K. Spencer @sarah_k_spence
Great sequence for the Hawks there, with John Collins grabbing the rebound, Kevin Huerter finding Bogi down the court and Bogi hitting a 3 to get the Hawks back up to a 10-point lead, 4:30 3Q.
The minute prior, Celtics had it down to four. – 9:00 PM
Chris Kirschner @ChrisKirschner
Three straight 3s for Bogdan Bogdanovic and the Hawks are back up 10 after the Celtics had cut the lead to 4 – 8:59 PM

Chris Grenham @chrisgrenham
Jayson Tatum looks more in rhythm tonight, which is a great sign for the Celtics. He has 21 points on 8-of-16 FG with no turnovers. – 8:51 PM
John Karalis @RedsArmy_John
Al Horford can be so damn good defensively – 8:50 PM
Eddie Sefko @ESefko
Interesting from Jason Kidd: When KP was out, Jalen started. When Luka is out, JB is starting. Said all he wants is for Brunson to stay “in character.” – 8:40 PM
Atlanta Hawks PR @HawksPR
Hawks forward John Collins recorded a season-high nine rebounds in tonight’s opening half.
Collins pulled down nine rebounds in the first half three times during the 2020-21 season, with the last time being on 3/20/21 (at Los Angeles Lakers). – 8:36 PM
Atlanta Hawks PR @HawksPR
Kevin Huerter (19 pts on 7-8 FGs, 5-6 3FGs) tied for the highest-scoring first half of his career (3/10/19 vs. NOP). He had 21 in the second half at PHI on 1/11/19). – 8:36 PM
John Karalis @RedsArmy_John
Tough end to the 2nd quarter there but two big baskets to get it down to 9. Tatum and Grant Williams have combined for 31 points… which is not a sentence I expected to type this season. – 8:33 PM

G. Williams: 15/4 – 8:32 PM
John Karalis @RedsArmy_John
What a smart play by Grant Williams. Great hustle. Huerter made a very bad mistake complaining mid-play. huge 3-point play for Williams – 8:30 PM
Abby Chin @tvabby
What a play by Grant Williams! Saves the ball from going out of bounds, draws a third foul on Kevin Huerter AND gets the bucket! He hit the FT too. #Celtics8:29 PM
John Karalis @RedsArmy_John
The stat that Mike Gorman was referencing on the broadcast: Schröder-5.19 seconds per touch. 2nd is Tatum (3.77). Udoka has a .5 rule but Schröder has misplaced the decimal point.
Average dribbles per touch: Schröder 4.5, Tatum 2.73, Smart 2.72. – 8:26 PM
Sarah K. Spencer @sarah_k_spence
Kevin Huerter’s up to 16 points and a steal, 2:02 still to play in the first half. – 8:24 PM

OKC going under screens on Jalen Green, as the Celtics did the night he had 30. Will be interesting to see if Thunder change that up or if he can keep it up if they don’t. – 8:24 PM

Kevin Huerter’s 14-point first quarter (5-6 FGs, 4-5 3FGs) was the highest-scoring first period of his career (previously 12 at Utah, 11/9/21). – 8:05 PM

Kevin Huerter is 4-for-4 from 3-point range (5-5 FG) with 14 points in his first nine minutes, so it seems his hamstring is doing well – 7:59 PM

I asked #Hawks head coach Nate McMillan about Dennis Schröder and what he’s seen from him of late. “He’s attacking,” McMillan said. “He’s much more aggressive than he’s been in the past.” – 7:57 PM
Mark Murphy @Murf56
Grant Williams, 2-4 from three tonight, is now shooting 42 percent from downtown this season – 7:57 PM
Kevin Chouinard @KLChouinard
Hawks have come out pretty well, but they need to tighten up ball security when they’re driving. Boston hasn’t hit a ton of shots, except off live TOs. – 7:56 PM
John Karalis @RedsArmy_John
Tatum just got swarmed at the rim and he kicked it to Grant for a 3. That’s the aggressive Tatum the Celtics need to see. That’s hard work .. he drew a lot of contact there. Part of a quick 8-0 C’s answer to the Hawks run – 7:54 PM
Tom Westerholm @Tom_NBA
The Celtics’ starting lineup was +46.7 (in 30 possessions) this season which … probably will not hold up after tonight. – 7:52 PM
