The Boston Celtics were able to cool off the red-hot Atlanta Hawks, earning a 125-117 victory at TD Garden Wednesday night. Kristaps Porzingis led the way for the Celtics with 31 points, propelling Boston to a 39-12 record for the season overall.
Earlier in the day, the Celtics swung a trade with the Memphis Grizzlies, landing big man Xavier Tillman. Prior to tip-off, the deal was made official, but Tillman did not suit up to face the Hawks. Instead, the task of putting Atlanta to bed fell on his new teammates, who were more than up to the task. In total, six Celtics scored 10 points or more.
Let’s take a closer look at a 125-117 win for Boston over the visiting Hawks.
