The Boston Celtics took their 15th game winning streak into Atlanta last night and survived a scare winning 88-85 over the Hawks. This game was similar to the playoff series last season when the Hawks beat the C’s three straight games in Atlanta to force a game seven. The C’s destroyed them in game seven to eliminate the Hawks from the playoffs. After the early second quarter lead 28-26, the Celtics trailed the entire game but the final four minutes to beat the Hawks. Kevin Garnett led the C’s with 18 points and ten of his 18 points came in the fourth shooting a perfect five-five from the field. Paul Pierce added 18 as well to put the young Hawks away. Joe Johnson was the high point man for the Hawks netting 20 to led all scorers.
