Atlanta Hawks put on the ropes to Boston Celtics

Atlanta Hawks last night lost their first game of the season for the Boston Celtics 102-103, in theory the best team in the Eastern Conference. Well, in theory and in practice, but what could make this year the Hawks?

Last year this match was played 7 times in the first round of playoffs, with 3 victories and 4 Atlanta Hawks Boston Celtics, the last flowing, but the best team in the regular season had to come to the last to remove a team that won 30 fewer wins than him.

This year everything is different. Atlanta Hawks is a well established team, as we said the other day, and only Garnett, Pierce, Allen and others have managed to endorse their first defeat. And it had to wait 48 minute match.

Paul Pierce, the absence of 0.5 seconds to finish his playing time, plug in a two-point basket that returned to earth to the Hawks, who in the absence of seven seconds earned 102-101. But Paul Pierce and Kevin Garnett are much. The Californian had 34 points and Kevin Garnett 25 with 12 rebounds. For the Hawks, Joe Johnson scored scored 28 points. Kevin Garnett was very clear on the last play of the game.

"The thing was easy. Bring the ball to Paul Pierce and take care of everything. If you do not believe it, ask Doc Rivers (Celtics coach). He will tell you as I do. "
