4 takeaways as Celtics blow out Hawks, Jayson Tatum starts red-hot
The Celtics fell behind early in the second quarter, which led to C’s coach Joe Mazzulla calling a timeout. Then the defending champs were relentless. They ripped off a 37-12 run over the final 9:37 of the quarter, taking a 75-52 lead to the break. Jayson Tatum’s fingerprints were all over that run as he poured in 26 points in the first half.
