NBA Playoffs: When is Hawks vs Celtics Game 6?

When will Game 6 of this NBA Playoffs series take place between the Boston Celtics and the Atlanta Hawks?

The Boston Celtics and Atlanta Hawks have been going back and forth through their NBA Playoffs series. The home team has won all the games so far, so with the way this is going, we may get 7 games.

Based on what was seen on Tuesday night, though, the Hawks may have just taken all the momentum. They crushed the Celtics 110-83. Players like Al Horford, Kent Bazemore, and Paul Millsap all contributed to Atlanta’s dominance. They blew Boston out in the second half with a terrific run in the third quarter that saw the lead balloon to 30 points.

The Celtics also lost star point guard Isaiah Thomas at the end of the game. He appeared to have tweaked his ankle and was forced to leave. He would not return, which isn’t a bad thing since the contest was already way out of each. Thomas’ status for Game 6 is currently unknown. They are already without Avery Bradley, who is not expected to return this series and possibly into the next round if the Celtics can make it that far.

As for that next game, the Celtics will be hosting this one on Thursday, April 28 at 8:00 pm ET. If they win, Game 7 will head back to Atlanta on Saturday, April 30.
