  Kevin Garnett had 18 points and 11 rebounds, Paul Pierce scored 22 points, and the Celtics turned back the pesky Atlanta Hawks with a 99-65 victory Sunday in Game 7 of their playoff series, earning a second-round matchup with LeBron James and the Cleveland Cavaliers.

  newser | Associated Press | May 2, 08 11:21 PM CDT
  
  Atlanta just won't let go of its first trip to the postseason in nine years. The playoff team with the worst record did it again to the team with the best mark, forcing an improbable Game 7 with the Boston Celtics, as Joe Johnson hit a crucial 3-pointer with 1:07 remaining and the Hawks held on for a 103-100 victory Friday.

  newser | Associated Press | May 1, 08 12:15 AM CDT
  
  Takedowns and menacing gestures. Double technicals and flagrant fouls. And the Boston Celtics are heading to Atlanta to try to deliver the knockout punch. Paul Pierce scored a playoff-high 22 points and Ray Allen hit three 3-pointers in the middle of the third quarter Wednesday night to turn back the Hawks' last charge, leading Boston to a hard-fought 110-85 victory over Atlanta More »

  newser | Associated Press | Apr 28, 08 11:30 PM CDT
  
  Forget about a Boston sweep. The Hawks are headed back to Beantown all tied up with the mighty Celtics. Joe Johnson scored 35 points—20 in the fourth quarter—and Josh Smith added 28 points and seven blocks for Atlanta, which surprised the Celtics again 97-92 on Monday night to even the best-of-seven series at two games apiece.

- Smith Soars Over Celtics
  
  newser | Associated Press | Apr 27, 08 12:28 AM CDT
  
  Led by high-flying Josh Smith, the Atlanta Hawks finally showed they can beat the Boston Celtics. Good timing. Smith scored 27 points—and give him a perfect 10 in his own personal dunking contest—to lead the Hawks to a 102-93 victory Saturday night that breathed life into their long-shot playoff hopes, cutting Boston's lead in the opening-round series to 2-1.

  newser | Associated Press | Apr 24, 08 7:23 AM CDT
  
  Rajon Rondo outplayed Mike Bibby and helped the Boston Celtics silence Atlanta and its blustery point guard. Bibby was booed every time he touched the ball after shooting 4-for-17 from the field in the first two games. Kevin Garnett had 19 points and 10 rebounds, while Rondo added 12 points, eight assists, and six rebounds as Boston bested Atlanta last night, 96-77. More »

  newser | Associated Press | Apr 21, 08 12:18 AM CDT
  
  Ray Allen scored 18 points and Kevin Garnett had 16 as the two newcomers who led the Boston Celtics to the NBA's best record sparked them to a 104-81 win last night in their playoff opener against the Atlanta Hawks. Rookie Al Horford led the Hawks with 20 points and 10 rebounds and Joe Johnson added 19 points. More »
- Heat End Dismal Season With 113-99 Win Over Hawks
  
  newser | Associated Press | Apr 16, 08 10:06 PM CDT
  
  If this was Pat Riley's final game, it was a victorious one. Jason Williams scored 17 points, Mark Blount and Daequan Cook each added 16 and the Heat ended their disappointing season with a 113-99 victory over the Atlanta Hawks on Wednesday night. Miami finished 15-67, matching the 1988-89 expansion team for the worst record in franchise history. More »
- Evans Leads Magic Past Hawks
  
  newser | Associated Press | Apr 15, 08 10:34 PM CDT
  
  Maurice Evans scored 27 points and six of his Orlando teammates also scored in double figures, leading the Magic to a 121-105 victory over the Atlanta Hawks on Tuesday night. Evans scored 23 points in the second half as both playoff-bound teams substituted liberally, knowing the game had no impact on their postseason positioning. More »
- Hawks Clinch a Playoff Berth
  
  newser | Associated Press | Apr 14, 08 10:07 PM CDT
  
  For the first time since 1999, the Atlanta Hawks are headed to the NBA playoffs after clinching the final spot in the Eastern Conference when Indiana, the only other team with a mathematical chance, lost at Washington 117-110. The league's longest playoff drought ended with Atlanta enjoying an off day. "It's huge for our franchise,” fourth-year coach Mike Woodson said. More »
- Celtics Prevent Hawks From Clinching
  
  newser | Associated Press | Apr 12, 08 9:43 PM CDT
  
  Sam Cassell and Boston's backups outplayed Atlanta's starters in the fourth quarter, and the Celtics prevented the Hawks from clinching their first playoff berth since 1999 with a 99-89 victory tonight. Atlanta would have ended the NBA's longest playoff drought with a victory, because Indiana lost to Charlotte earlier today. The Hawks remained two games ahead of the Pacers with two to play. More »
- Dunleavy Helps Pacers Stay in the Hunt
  
  newser | Associated Press | Apr 8, 08 11:06 PM CDT
  
  Mike Dunleavy scored 28 points, and the Indiana Pacers beat the Atlanta Hawks 112-98 Tuesday night to avoid elimination from the Eastern Conference playoff race. A win by the Hawks would have knocked the Pacers from contention, and Atlanta would have needed just one win or a New Jersey loss the rest of the way to clinch a berth. More »

  newser | Associated Press | Mar 31, 08 10:17 PM CDT
  
  In a rollercoaster of a contest, the Raptors took control of the East's coveted sixth seed, defeating the Bobcats, 104-100. Chris Bosh's 32 points led all scorers. Toronto capitalized on 17 straight baskets in the first quarter, then went cold, trailing at halftime, 63-58. T.J. Ford put the game out of reach late. Also in hoops: More »
- Hawks Get by Knicks
  
  newser | Atlanta Journal-Constitution | Mar 30, 08 10:45 PM CDT
  
  Atlanta would love to enjoy their three-game winning streak, but in a back-to-back stretch of their road schedule they'll have to prepare for lowly Memphis tomorrow night instead if they hope to make it four in a row. Tonight's 114-109 win over the Knicks stretched their lead for the final Eastern Conference playoff spot to 2.5 games over idle New Jersey, reports the Atlanta Journal-Constitution . More »

  newser | Associated Press | Mar 29, 08 2:14 AM CDT

- Hawks Fly Over Bucks
  
  newser | Associated Press | Mar 27, 08 12:30 AM CDT
  
  The Atlanta Hawks avoided a major issue on a night they celebrated a 115-89 win over the Milwaukee Bucks, reports the Associated Press. Star point guard Mike Bibby left the game in the fourth period last night with an injured left thumb. X-rays were negative, however, and it appears to be only a strain. That is good news for the Hawks, who held onto eighth in the East. More »

  newser | Chicago Tribune | Mar 26, 08 12:12 AM CDT
  
  The Chicago Bulls overcame a listless fourth-quarter to survive the Atlanta Hawks’ comeback attempt and earn a 103-94 victory.
