Tatum: "We were playing with pace; we had the right intentions. We had the right mindset tonight. We just shot 38% from the field. That's the tough part when you're doing things a certain way, and the results aren't matching. How do you continue to stay positive, keep fighting and keep going forward."

Trae Young really took control during OT and the Hawks did a great job targeting Neemias Queta, but the Celtics just made a lot of poor decisions here late. Pretty rough loss for a team who has had a lot of them lately.
