Leading by 30 points before the end of the second quarter on Monday, the Boston Celtics looked set to improve their NBA-best record and extend their winning streak to 10 games in a row.
The Atlanta Hawks, however, had other ideas. Despite trailing 68-38 with just over four minutes to go until halftime, the Hawks erased the 30-point deficit and soared to a shocking 120-118 victory over the Celtics. Per the NBA, the stunning upset was the biggest comeback in Hawks history and the largest comeback in the NBA this season. “Any time you’re down that much, you have to have something out of the ordinary to get back in the game,” said Hawks coach Quin Snyder.
” The comeback victory was made all the more impressive by the fact that the Hawks were without All-Star point guard Trae Young, as well as rising star Jalen Johnson.All five Hawks starters scored in double figures, with Hunter leading the way with 24 points. Bogdan Bogdanović scored 22 while Dejounte Murray had 19 points and 15 assists.
