2023 NBA Playoffs First Round Game 6: Boston Celtics vs. Atlanta Hawks April 27, 2023 by Marc Jerbs

On Thursday, the Boston Celtics will face the Atlanta Hawks in Game 6 of the 2023 NBA Playoffs.

Game time is set 8:30PM at State Farm Arena in Atlanta, GA. Boston leads the series 3-2.

The Boston Celtics failed to close out the series at home after a fourth quarter meltdown.

Boston was leading with half-way in the last quarter but a serious of turnovers and poor shot selection enabled the Atlanta Hawks to surge a comeback.

Trae Young's last second 30-footer was all Atlanta needed to extend the series.

The Atlanta Hawks has now the capacity to tie the series and set-up a winner-take all Game 7 back to Boston.

Atlanta is still riding their nerve-wracking Game 5 win and playing at home will give them additional confidence booster to win over the Boston Celtics.

The sportsbook handicappers have installed the Boston Celtics as the favorites to win over the Atlanta Hawks in Game 6 on Thursday night.
