The Boston Celtics will host the Atlanta Hawks in on Sunday. The Celtics are ahead 2-1 in the best-of-seven playoff series.
The Atlanta Hawks jumped out to an early lead in their opening-round NBA Playoff series against the Boston Celtics, but have dropped two straight games and now trail 2-1 in the best-of-seven series. They'll attempt to even things up in enemy territory on Sunday night.
The Hawks will be getting a shot in the arm as forward Josh Smith plans on returning from a knee injury that knocked him out of Game 2 early and kept him out of Game 3 entirely.
The Celtics, meanwhile, will look to keep the momentum rolling on their home court and go up 3-1 to get just one victory away from advancing to the conference semifinals.
Sunday's Game 4 will tip off at 7:00 p.m. ET. The game will be televised nationally on TNT.
