With star guard Dejounte Murray out and facing a hostile Boston crowd, not many believed in the Hawks’ ability to win Tuesday night’s Game 5 to extend the series and send the action back to Atlanta.
Apparently, the Hawks’ own home arena was among the doubters.
Trae Young’s heroics and the Celtics’ fourth-quarter collapse kept Atlanta’s season alive—and created something of an awkward situation for the folks who run State Farm Arena.

The Celtics maintained a 10-point lead heading into the fourth quarter of Game 5 against the Hawks, but that margin came crashing down in crunch time.
With Atlanta on the brink of elimination, Trae Young delivered a masterful performance, torching Boston for 38 points, including a go-ahead three pointer at the top of the key inside TD Garden to complete the 119–117 come-from-behind victory to force a Game 6.
It’s been a long time coming, but Aaron Rodgers is finally out of Green Bay.

Alabama head coach Nick Saban traded the gridiron for the diamond on Tuesday night, throwing out the first pitch prior to the Crimson Tide’s showdown with Samford at Sewell-Thomas Stadium.
Saban showed no issue bringing the heat, easily striking the glove of senior Garrett McMillan. Following the pitch the seven-time national champion head coach simply waved to cheering hometown fans.
Alabama, which crushed Samford 13–6 Tuesday night, has won four consecutive games as well six of their last eight games overall.
After a prolific collegiate career, many NFL observers believe former Texas Longhorns standout Bijan Robinson is the best running back in this year’s NFL draft. Oddsmakers are in agreement with that sentiment, installing Robinson as the favorite to be the first running back off the board.
There appears to be little doubt that the Doak Walker Award winner will be selected in the first round. The only question is just how long he will have to wait to hear his name called by commissioner Roger Goodell on Thursday night.
Trae Young shut down rabid Boston Celtics fans at TD Garden with an ice-cold game-winner.
C’s fans may be kicking themselves for chanting “F*** Trae Young” moments before the Hawks star sunk a deep three, with seconds left in regulation, to elevate Atlanta over Boston, 119-117.

Boxing icon Oscar De La Hoya stated that he did not attend the press conference following the Gervonta “Tank” Davis and Ryan Garcia fight because he received death threats.
“My security team told me ‘boss we gotta get the f— out of here’ because I received death threats,” De La Hoya said in the video. “You guys don’t know this, I received death threats throughout the whole week and they just said it was simply too dangerous, so we got out of there.”
Garcia is backed by Golden Boy Promotions, which is owned by De La Hoya.
Tennessee is known as the Volunteer State, but it’s fair to wonder whether volunteering nine figures of the public’s money is what that moniker is meant to imply.
That’s the situation the Titans are on the verge of making a reality. The city of Nashville is expected to approve $760 million in revenue bonds geared toward building a new NFL stadium, according to The Athletic‘s Daniel Kaplan. That, combined with the $500 million that’s already been approved by the state, means $1.26 billion of public funds has been earmarked for the Titans’ new home.

Charles Barkley is a master roaster alongside TNT teammate Shaquille O’Neal on the wildly popular “Inside the NBA.” Even for fans without much of a care for the player-driven, oft-annoying NBA, tuning in to watch Chuck, Shaq, EJ and Kenny “The Jet” is solid late-night TV.
Speaking with the NBA’s newly named Rookie of the Year award — Orlando Magic’s Paolo Banchero — on Tuesday, Barkley couldn’t help but throw a playful jab at Shaq, the former Magic big man.
