Atlanta did play Boston well on March 2nd in Boston:

"The Hawks led 46-41 after Bibby's alley-oop to Horford for the first basket of the second half. But Boston scored the next 13 points -- including nine in a row from Pierce -- before Smith hit a free throw with 8:42 left in the quarter.

Pierce added a jumper that gave him 11 consecutive Boston points and gave the Celtics a 58-47 lead.

"In the third quarter, we started to turn it over, Paul got a hot hand and our defense went the other way," Hawks coach Mike Woodson said. "This is a good ball club they have here in Boston."

Atlanta came within three points several times, the last at 73-70, before Eddie House hit a 3-pointer with 9:05 to play."

The big three all had solid nights on that game.

Only Al, Childress, and Josh Smith had a good game that night for the Hawks.
