The young and hungry Hawks were desperate, ready to prove themselves, and had a home crowd waiting for them to show it.The Celtics have thrived in these situations for most of the season, with a target on their back after winning the Eastern Conference last season.

They did, and there was almost nothing the Celtics could do about it. Crushed under a barrage of shot-making, the Celtics fell to the Hawks with a 130-122 loss in Game 3 of this best-of-seven first-round series.The Celtics – fueled by 15 3-pointers in the first half – just couldn’t keep up with the Hawks, who went 67....
