Hawks too much for Celtics even as stars sit
Some flaws simply aren’t going to be corrected overnight.Jeff Green was 3-for-11 in his debut for Memphis last night, and the team he left behind still can’t hit a fastball when it’s thrown by a quality opponent.The Celtics lost to Atlanta last night, 105-91. Even though the hottest team in the NBA — now with 10 straight wins — was without Al Horford and Kyle Korver in a rest move that coach Mike Budenholzer’s former boss, Gregg Popovich, would have heartily approved, quality still won out.

Copy machine? C's want to soar like Hawks
BOSTON -- You get the sense that Boston Celtics coach Brad Stevens has been watching a lot of Atlanta Hawks games, and not just to check in on former Butler University pupil Shelvin Mack. Stevens flat-out gushes when he talks about the Hawks and the inspired brand of basketball they've played since the end of last season. In a way, Atlanta offers a bit of a blueprint on how a superstar-less team can thrive with pure team basketball. Atlanta showcased that Wednesday night as part of a 105-91 triumph at TD Garden in which it rested starters Al Horford and Kyle Korver, two of its most skilled...

Hawks 105, Celtics 91: No Korver, no Horford, no problem for Atlanta
BOSTON -- Boston Celtics forward Brandon Bass was assessing the state of the Eastern Conference one offday in late December and seemed particularly incredulous that the Atlanta Hawks were near the top of the standings, suggesting that emphasized just how wide open the conference was. If Bass hadn't already bought into the Atlanta hype amid the team's sustained success, he's probably a believer after a Hawks team playing without starters Al Horford and Kyle Korver posted a decisive 105-91 triumph over the Celtics on Wednesday night at TD Garden.
