Brian Scalabrine and Eddie House join Tom Giles to offer instant reaction and analysis following the Boston Celtics’ 112-99 win over the Atlanta Hawks in Game 1 of the first round of the NBA playoffs. Boston let up in the second half, scoring only 38 points after the break, but their 30-point lead at halftime was more than enough to secure the victory. Later, Abby Chin catches up with Jayson Tatum in an exclusive 1-on-1 interview after the win.

32 Boston rebounds to 18 atl is why we were up 30 points at the half

NO EIDDE IT'S NOT O.K. TO TAKE THE FOOT OFF THE GAS… WE HAVE TO LEARN TO TOTALLY DISRESPECT EVERYBODY WE'RE THAT GOOD!!!

The celtics were terrible coming from the break. They let the 30 point lead dwindle when they could've pushed the lead higher so they could've had a 4th quarter gino time to let hauser, pp, grant, moose and kornet play.
This win is just taking care of business. We were at home. We should hold serve and get the next one too and steal 2 in atlanta. The celtics were walking the ball up and not moving the ball. The lane was wide open for drives, cuts and rim runs. Taking the foot of the pedal isnt good. This was a bad win in the 2nd half.
I just like how yes they let the lead drop but never let it hit single digits and I am certain it never went under 12
Cs took their foot off the gas and then simply reapplied it. Get the broom.
We did take our foot off the gas but the lead stayed above 10.
Teams are always gonna make runs so it’s unrealistic to always expect us to keep the lead at 30.
You can tell that we are just better then this team.
they got bored….
The Hawks outscored the Celtics 55-30 in the second half,
You can say what you want the Hawks will game 2 ..
They played better down the stretch
JT shot the lights out in the 1st half enough that he didnt need to go 100% in the 2nd half. I like it.
