The Atlanta Hawks were not even supposed to come anywhere close this post-season against the Boston Celtics… why? Mostly due their tremendous play at home in the extra session. On the road it was another story… Check this out…

If you thought it was this bad for the Hawks in scoring on the road in the playoffs…. last time they made it back in 1999, they averaged just 72.3 points per game and 34.6 percent shooting from the field.
