Boston Celtics vs Atlanta Hawks Prediction: Will the Hawks be able to extend their lead?

Atlanta took one of the two home games in the series with Boston, but still lose (1:3). Will the Hawks be able to extend their lead at the end of game four? It should be noted that the Atlanta team has not won six games in a row at the TD Garden.

The Celtics, leading 2:0 in the series, relaxed in the third game and allowed 130 points (122:130), although they were excellent on offense and almost won. The team didn't do a great job on defense in the fourth game. Jason Tatum and Jalen Brown scored 31 points each (129:121). Robert Williams had 13 points and 15 rebounds, and Al Horford had 11 rebounds and five assists. Overall, in their series with Atlanta, which the Celtics are likely to close as early as game 5, Boston has shown they can operate effectively on both ends of the floor and produce results via various plays.

It's clear that Atlanta Hawks are way behind Boston in today's class, and the team could not repeat their success in game four - they lacked even 121 points to win. It should be noted that Trae Young was even better in game four than in game three, with 35 points and 15 assists in just one win. Dejounte Murray had 25 points, and D'Andre Hunter had 27. Once again, Atlanta can demonstrate their inconsistency - even their offense can't guarantee success for the Hawks.

Boston's defense in this series has been significantly better at the TD Garden than on the road. In all likelihood, there won't be a high-scoring game either. Atlanta showed great offensive work in the third and fourth games, and it will be difficult for the Hawks to play another game at this level. In addition, we'd like to bet on a solid win for the Celtics, who have already confirmed their superiority over Atlanta in the series and will close this game in the first half of Game 5.
