The Boston Celtics put their 2-1 series lead on the line against the Atlanta Hawks on Sunday, April 23. The game will be live streamed on Sling, which offers half off the first month, and on DirecTV Stream (free trial).

The second-seeded Celtics gave the Hawks a glimmer of hope with a 130-122 loss Friday in Game 3 — despite their best performance of the series (21 for 48) from 3-point range. That made the defeat especially disappointing for the Celtics, who realized the opportunity they squandered to move within one game closer to getting some extra rest ahead of the second round.

The Hawks outrebounded the Celtics 48-29 in Game 3, with Clint Capela (11) leading the way and six others grabbing at least four, including guards Trae Young and Dejounte Murray with six apiece. Eleven offensive boards helped Atlanta hold a 23-9 edge in second-chance points. “There’s nothing tactical about it. It’s just a matter of will, and they wanted it more,” Celtics guard Marcus Smart said. “They go every night. We’ve got to be able to stop that.”

Smart was very sore after falling on his tailbone in the closing minutes of Game 3 when he went up for a rebound against Capela. Smart, who had 24 points, was listed as a game-time decision for Sunday.

Young is still feeling the heat, even after his best playoff performance in two years with 32 points in Game 3. He was especially effective in the fourth quarter, with 15 points and no turnovers, but now Atlanta’s star point guard must do it again for his team to have its best shot at evening the series.
