In the series opener we saw these teams each reach the century barrier and combine for 203 points despite the Celtics shooting 36.3% and the Hawks shooting 40.7%. I expect better shooting and both teams to push the tempo here. There were too many cold shooting streaks in game 1 that kept the scoring low.

These two teams both finished in the top 12 in scoring overall and were two of the top four in the Eastern Conference. On the defensive side of the ball these two teams ranked #24 and #25 in point allowed. We attribute the poor shooting in game one due to the pressure of the first play-off game and not good defense and clearly expect both teams to return to their normal shooting percentages tonight.
Play the OVER!
