Wow, we won even after only hitting 4-18 from 3pt

Some could chock up our victory in game three to somewhat of "luck" because we shot over 50% on our 3 pointers...I think it is VERY encouraging that we won tonight without good 3 point shooting.

Ended up just over 20%.

Hell, the Celtics were 12-23 and we still clearly played better...That is great news for this team.

We really can play with the Celtics, guys! I'm saying that as much to myself as I am to everyone else here...It is so surprising after games 1 and 2.

Yeah thats huge i was worried about what it would look like if we couldnt shoot it like that again, but we ground it out and won a tough game. very encouraging

One other reason why we won (although we looked better in general)...

Celtics FT: 10/18 = 56%

Hawks: 29/33 = 88%

Hard to win that way if all other stats are about even (like rebounding, FG%)

and we had waaay more turnovers 17-10.

Very true. I would love to know how many points the Celtics scored off our turnovers. Although we had a horrible 17 turnovers, it appears as though the Celtics either didnt score much off them, or our turnovers didnt come at really, really bad times.
