This eastern conference matchup helped solidify Atlanta’s No. 10 position in the East, allowing them a shot at the play-in tournament to face the No. 9 seed. Atlanta has won four straight games, really amping it up at the end of the season to make a push for the playoffs.
The Celtics have solidified the No. 1 seed in the East, with the No. 2 Milwaukee Bucks a full 11 games behind Boston. This will lead the Celtics to play the No. 8 seed in the playoffs, which could be help by Atlanta, if the Hawks win two games as the No. 10 seed in the play-in tournament. However, while Atlanta showed they can knock off Boston, can they compete in a seven game series?
