The Boston Celtics kickstarted their playoff series with two consecutive postseason victories against the Atlanta Hawks. While the latter managed to secure a win in Game 3, fans’ optimism took a dent when the Celtics bounced back in Game 4. Jayson Tatum‘s Celtics defeated Trae Young‘s Hawks by 129-121. As the teams gear up for their next crucial game, the Hawks found themselves at a disadvantage after Dejounte Murray landed in hot waters with the league. This came in just about a week after the 26-year-old star guard dropped a heartwarming comment on a particular social media personality’s post.

Tatum led his team to victory by scoring 31 points, seven rebounds, and four assists. Whereas, Young’s game-high 35 points failed to change the game’s outcome in Atlanta’s favor.
