- At TD Garden Wednesday, Atlanta defeated Boston 117-106, avenging a 132-106 loss from their Jan. 17 meeting.

- Hot perimeter shooting and depth fueled Atlanta's offense, with six Hawks in double figures and team shooting at 48.4, 18-for-42 from three.
- Boston's standings and home-loss marks raised frontcourt and roster questions after their first double-digit loss since Dec. 11 and worst home loss since Nov. 1, highlighting trade-deadline roster concerns.
- The win extended Atlanta Hawks' streak to four games and they host Houston Thursday night, while Boston Celtics players urged a mental breakthrough before Friday's Sacramento Kings game.
