Young saves the Hawks while squandering the Celtics' "tremendous opportunity"
Posted : 26 April 2023
The Boston Celtics seemed to be on their way to the next round of the playoffs as the fourth quarter got underway Tuesday night at TD Garden.
But 12 minutes into the game, the tickets were still unpunched.
"We had a tremendous opportunity," Celtics star Jaylen Brown said about trying to close out his team's first-round series in Tuesday's Game 5.
"We controlled the game for the most part, and then Trae Young just put on a hell of a performance in the fourth quarter."
Early in the fourth quarter, Boston had a 13-point lead over the visiting Atlanta Hawks when Young, Atlanta's clutch point guard, took over.
He scored the final 14 points for the Hawks, including the 30-foot shot over Brown with 2.1 seconds left to seal the 119-117 victory.Early in the fourth quarter, Boston had a 13-point lead over the visiting Atlanta Hawks when Young, Atlanta's clutch point guard, took over.
