Through the first two games of their series against the Hawks, the Celtics looked like a team heading for a sweep. Atlanta flipped the script in Game 3, though, hitting 56.0 percent of their field goal attempts and 44.1 percent of their 3-pointers in a 130-122 win.
Jayson Tatum led Boston in scoring with 29 points, but he wasn't happy with his performance in the loss.
"I gotta play better, gotta make some better decisions in some of those moments. I will," Tatum said. "I didn't think we were gonna win every game in the playoffs. They played well tonight. We'll come back, get some rest, watch film, learn from it.
"I'm extremely motivated and confident that we're gonna play better in the next game."
