When will the Atlanta Hawks and Boston Celtics play Game 5 of the first round of the NBA Playoffs?
After a thrilling overtime game by the Boston Celtics and Atlanta Hawks, the two teams will now play extended games in the series. On Sunday night, Atlanta Hawks power forward Paul Millsap had an all-time game for the Hawks offensively.
It was a game that will be remembered with the likes of the games that Dominique Wilkins used to have in playoff history for Atlanta. However, in the end it was the Boston Celtics that came away with the winners in overtimes after some blunders by the Hawks and some big shots from players like Marcus Smart, who normally don’t shoot as well.
With the series tied up at two games apiece, the two teams will now meet in the pivotal Game 5, which will put one team one game away from advancing to the second round of the playoffs. The two teams will play once more on Tuesday night, where the stakes will be high.
Will the Hawks be able to rebound on their home floor or will the Celtics keep the winning streak rolling?
