NBA, Atlanta knocks out Boston after overtime

For the Celtics, this is the 16th loss of the season, compared to 57 wins

.

Only two NBA contests played on the night. The two best teams in the EAST, namely Boston and Milwaukee, both suffer two heavy defeats. The Celtics, after an overtime, surrendered to the Hawks (123-122). Game to remember for Murray who finished with an impressive 44 points (career high) and, most importantly, scored the basket that gave Atlanta the victory (celebrated with obvious homage to Kobe Bryant).

Bogdanovic's contribution (24 points) was also excellent. In the green-and-white house, the solid performance of Tatum, who put up 31 points, with also 13 rebounds, was not enough. For Boston (still first in the East), it was the 16th loss of the season (57 wins). Atlanta thus celebrates its fourth consecutive victory and confirms itself in excellent form.

The second-best team in the Eastern Conference, namely Milwaukee, also falls.The Bucks get surprised by the Pelicans, who impose themselves 107-100. Williamson, scorer of 28 points and, in the final, of the free throws that earned New Orleans the victory. Bitterly chewing Antetokounmpo (35 points with 14 rebounds). Lillard does not particularly shine: 20 final points. The Bucks’ record è now stands at 46 wins and 27 losses.
