Bogdan Bogdanovic played a significant role in the Atlanta Hawks’ latest triumph over the Boston Celtics by 123:122.
This marked the fourth consecutive victory for the Atlanta Hawks, and for the second time in just a few days, they outplayed the franchise with the best record in the entire NBA. In their previous encounter, Bogdan Bogdanovic and the team staged one of the greatest comebacks in history after winning despite trailing by 30 points against the Boston Celtics.
The drama was not lacking this time either, as everything came down to an uncertain finish. Neither team managed to take a double-digit lead, with a remarkable 37 lead changes and 13 ties throughout the game.
Bogdanovic hit two crucial three-pointers late in the game, despite previously shooting 0/6 from beyond the arc. This brought the Hawks to overtime, and in another thrilling turn of events, Dejounte Murray emerged as the hero by sinking a mid-range shot for the victory with just 0.1 seconds remaining.
The Atlanta Hawks’ top scorer was Dejounte Murray, who scored 44 points, including the game-winning shot. It should be noted that in the absence of Trae Young, he took full advantage of the opportunity to take shots (18/44). He also contributed seven rebounds and assists to that performance.
The Serbian representative finished the game with 24 points, seven rebounds, and five assists, shooting nine out of 19 from the field. On the other side, Jayson Tatum led with 31 points, 13 rebounds, and six assists, playing 43 minutes in the game.
The Atlanta Hawks now have a record of 34-39, and it seems they have solidified the tenth position in the Eastern Conference standings. They are six wins ahead of the Brooklyn Nets, who are close behind. The Boston Celtics remain the team with the best record in the NBA (57-16).
In the other NBA game, New Orleans Pelicans defeated Milwaukee Bucks by 107:100.
