The Celtics’ two superstars came up big Sunday night, as Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown combined for 62 points to help Boston earn a Game 4 win over the Hawks.
Brown had relatively quiet nights offensively in Games 2 and 3 and didn't look like himself early in Game 4. But the aggressive version of the All-Star wing returned as soon as he ditched the mask.The Celtics grabbed just 29 rebounds in Game 3. They had 32 by halftime of Game 4.
Boston made a concerted effort to control the boards Sunday night, and it paid off, as the C's won the rebounding battle 49-42. Robert Williams in particular was a menace at the rim, finishing with a game-high 15 rebounds -- including 12 in the first half, the most in a playoff game since Kendrick Perkins in 2008.
