The Hawks seemed to have found some sort of rhythm. They opened 3Q with 5-straight points and even as the Celtics continued to score, the Hawks still found the right options to pull the game within 4. But the C’s went on a 12-3 run and are up 74-61 w/ 7:58 remaining in 3Q. – 9:05 PM

Obi Toppin is one of six qualified players (at least 100 FG attempts) shooting above 49% from the floor and above 90% from the free-throw stripe.
The other five are:
Kevin Durant,
Shai Gilgeous-Alexander,
Bradley Beal,
John Collins and
Stephen Curry

PSA (since some seem to worry about me, which is very nice of you!): I won’t start the Celtics game live tonight. I should be caught up by halftime though. – 5:07 PM

Interesting given the parade of steals that powered the #Celtics‘ win on Monday, they’re tied for last in forcing turnovers with Washington (12.6). Disruption was such a big part of their identity on defense last year. They haven’t blown up many plays this year away from Tatum. – 1:59 PM

Marcus Smart and Malcolm Brogdon are out tonight. Smart has right ankle inflammation. Brogdon was initially listed as questionable with right hamstring tightness. There is optimism that he will play on this trip – 1:46 PM
