Game Preview
The Boston Celtics are eyeing a three-game winning streak as they host the Atlanta Hawks in Tuesday’s NBA Cup group stage opener for both teams.
In this new tournament format, all 30 teams are divided into six groups, with the Celtics and Hawks in East Group C alongside the Cleveland Cavaliers, Chicago Bulls, and Washington Wizards.
The Hawks enter the game after a tough 125-113 home loss to the Bulls on Saturday, following a close 122-121 defeat to the Detroit Pistons. Atlanta struggled in the second half, getting outscored 65-43, including a 35-15 fourth quarter.
Trae Young noted the impact of fatigue from back-to-back games. "They were just running fast… it can definitely wear you down," he said, highlighting the toll of three back-to-backs within the season’s first few weeks.
Clint Capela, who scored 20 points and grabbed nine rebounds, commented on the game’s momentum shift, saying, "Once a team gets confident, it makes your job harder." The Hawks, after a 2-0 start, have now lost seven of their last nine games.
On the other side, the Celtics come off an impressive comeback win, overcoming a 17-point deficit to beat the Milwaukee Bucks 113-107 on Sunday. Jayson Tatum led Boston with 31 points, 12 rebounds, and six assists, while Jaylen Brown added 14 points in his return after missing four games with a hip injury.
Reflecting on their strong second half, Jrue Holiday said, "We picked up the intensity… getting back to Celtics basketball." Brown, pleased with his return, added, "Taking care of your body is important… it’s a long season."
This NBA Cup matchup between the Celtics and Hawks promises an intense start to the group stage, with Boston riding high and Atlanta eager to bounce back.
