Derrick White also shone for the Boston team with 26 points, 7 rebounds and 3 block and was praised by none other than his teammate Tatum.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019re so much more of a dynamic team when D-White is asserting himself and being aggressive and not being passive.&#8221; the 25-year old said.<\/p>\n<p>Jaylen Brown scored 18 as the Celtics pretty much wrapped up the match in the first half with 64-40 lead.<\/p>\n<p>For the Hawks Dejounte Murray led the way with 29 points. Young added 24, but overall it was a disappointing night for the 24-year old as he shot 9 of 22 from the field and 2 of 8 from beyond the arc. He also had five turnovers, bringing his total to 11 for the series.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI can be better,\u201d Young admitted. \u201cI didn&#8217;t shoot the ball really well. I had some turnovers where I was just driving and it just left my hands. But I&#8217;m going to be better at home.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Hawks managed to reduce the margin in the second half but ultimately were unable to pose a serious threat to the superior side.<\/p>\n<div class=\"epyt-video-wrapper\">\n<div  id=\"_ytid_37166\"  width=\"800\" height=\"450\"  data-origwidth=\"800\" data-origheight=\"450\" data-facadesrc=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/21ouUQdOUwM?enablejsapi=1&#038;autoplay=0&#038;cc_load_policy=0&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;loop=0&#038;modestbranding=1&#038;fs=1&#038;playsinline=0&#038;controls=1&#038;color=red&#038;cc_lang_pref=&#038;rel=1&#038;autohide=2&#038;theme=dark&#038;\" class=\"__youtube_prefs__ epyt-facade epyt-is-override  no-lazyload\" data-epautoplay=\"1\" ><img decoding=\"async\" data-spai-excluded=\"true\" class=\"epyt-facade-poster skip-lazy\" loading=\"lazy\" alt=\"YouTube player\" src=\"https:\/\/i.ytimg.com\/vi\/21ouUQdOUwM\/maxresdefault.jpg\" title=\"\"><button class=\"epyt-facade-play\" aria-label=\"Play\"><svg data-no-lazy=\"1\" height=\"100%\" version=\"1.1\" viewBox=\"0 0 68 48\" width=\"100%\"><path class=\"ytp-large-play-button-bg\" d=\"M66.52,7.74c-0.78-2.93-2.49-5.41-5.42-6.19C55.79,.13,34,0,34,0S12.21,.13,6.9,1.55 C3.97,2.33,2.27,4.81,1.48,7.74C0.06,13.05,0,24,0,24s0.06,10.95,1.48,16.26c0.78,2.93,2.49,5.41,5.42,6.19 C12.21,47.87,34,48,34,48s21.79-0.13,27.1-1.55c2.93-0.78,4.64-3.26,5.42-6.19C67.94,34.95,68,24,68,24S67.94,13.05,66.52,7.74z\" fill=\"#f00\"><\/path><path d=\"M 45,24 27,14 27,34\" fill=\"#fff\"><\/path><\/svg><\/button><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Boston Celtics achieved a comfortable victory over Atlanta Hawks 119-106 in Game 2 on Tuesday night.
