Are the Hawks finally Done? Celts up big
By KEVIN McNAMARA
It's halftime at the Garden and the Celtics are smoking the Atlanta Hawks, 44-26. It's hard to see the visitors having enough in the tank to mount a comeback in this Game Seven.
The Hawks have alternated between patsies in Boston and world-beaters at home and that scenario has played out again today. The Hawks are shooting 26 percent in the half and trailed by as much as 19 points and scored a measly 10 second quarter points.
The 26 first half points are the fewest allowed by the Celtics in a half in their long playoff history. The previous low was 27 points by Philadelphia in 1982.
In case you're wondering, the Celtics are a half away from advancing to the Eastern Conference semis against Cleveland. The Cavs and Celts split four games this season with each team winning two apiece at home.
Game 1 would be Tuesday at 8p.m. in Boston. Game 2 would come Thursday at 7pm. The series then shifts to Cleveland Saturday and next Monday.
