Author: Marc D'Amico March 31, 2026 Duration: 18:10
On a night in which the Celtics were missing both Jayson Tatum and Neemias Queta, they struggled to put the ball through the basket - particularly during the second half. That being said, Luka Garza shined in a spot start and is a big reason why the Celtics were tied up heading into the half. We spotlight his performance and what caused the Celtics to fade during the second half against a surging Atlanta Hawks team.
