The Boston Celtics took an unusual route to reach a tie with the Atlanta
Hawks in the Eastern Conference standings.
After holding a 12-point lead with 6:35 left in the fourth quarter, the
Celtics needed an overtime rally to beat the Hawks 107-102 on Friday night.
The Celtics had four field goals in the OT and three of them came from beyond
the arc, including Jason Terry's tiebreaker with 35 seconds remaining put
Boston ahead to stay.

Having drawn a key defensive assignment, Jason Terry thrived in an unfamiliar
role before lifting the Celtics past the Hawks in a more familiar way, Chris
Forsberg writes. Story

"I was brought here to make big shots and make plays and be a spark off the
bench," Terry said.
Jason really stepped up. We count on him late in games," Pierce said. "Even
if he doesn't get the shot, he's such a threat late in games that you can't
come off of him. He's hit so many big shots throughout his career. He
understands the moment and that's why he's here."
Boston won its fifth straight and is tied with the Hawks at 34-27, sixth in
the Eastern Conference.
"We just continue to fight. In the stretch run of the season, every game is
crucial," Pierce said. "Between the fourth and eight spot, it's a difference
between 1 or 2 games so all these games are big and we understand the sense
of urgency."
The Celtics improved to 7-4 in overtime and set a franchise record with their
11th OT game this season.
Josh Smith scored 32 points and Jeff Teague had 26 points and nine assists
for the Hawks, who outscored the Celtics 48-32 in the paint but couldn't
overcome a pair of turnovers by Smith in the final minute of OT.
"I had a couple of turnovers that I wish I could've had back," Smith said.
"We couldn't come up with the big rebound that we needed in that overtime."
"We just really wanted to make sure we controlled the rhythm of the game. I
thought we did a good job for the most part of that late, particularly in the
overtime," Atlanta coach Larry Drew said. "We just had too many bad plays on
both ends of the floor."
The Hawks led 98-96 in overtime when Green got lucky for the Celtics with a
3-pointer that bounced high off the rim initially, but somehow stayed on
target and went in after two more fortunate bounces and the Celtics had their
first lead of overtime at 99-98. Smith answered right away with a 3-pointer,
which Pierce matched with 1:37 left to put the Celtics ahead 102-101.
It was tied at 102 when Terry continued the 3-point frenzy on a 25-footer
with 35 seconds remaining off a pass from Pierce.
Atlanta turned it over on a bad pass by Smith and Terry drew a foul, sealing
the game with a pair of free throws.
