They entered this game on a three-game winning streak, including a solid win against the Charlotte Hornets, where they triumphed 114-99.

For the Hawks, Mouhamed Gueye, Keshon Gilbert, and RayJ Dennis were all listed as day-to-day, while the Celtics had Jayson Tatum also marked as day-to-day due to a knee issue.

Ultimately, the Hawks' ability to execute in crucial moments, particularly in the final quarter, allowed them to maintain their lead and secure the win. This game not only showcased the talent on both sides but also set the stage for an exciting remainder of the series.
