Boston Celtics continue to dominate their first-round playoff series against the Atlanta Hawks. On Tuesday night, the Celtics took a commanding 2-0 lead in the series with a dominant performance led by Derrick White, who contributed a game-high 18 points in the paint (Sports Illustrated). However, the Celtics have had a tumultuous season, starting with injuries to big man Robert Williams III and the suspension and eventual firing of their head coach (Yahoo Sports).
Despite the challenges, the Celtics have continued to fight and showcase their talent. Marcus Smart has been a key player this season, putting up an average of 11.5 points, 3.1 rebounds, a career-high 6.3 assists, and 1.5 steals per game (Celtics Wire).
Looking ahead, the Celtics are hoping to add to their success in the playoffs and potentially reach the NBA Finals. However, they will need to continue playing at a high level and overcome any potential injuries. As they prepare for Game 3 of their series against the Hawks, the Celtics will keep a close eye on their injury report (KCRG) and work to make necessary adjustments.
Off the court, the Celtics are also looking to make changes. Former Celtics head coach Ime Udoka is scheduled to have a head coaching interview on Wednesday (Sports Illustrated), indicating that the team may be considering a change for the future.
