The Boston Celtics are through to the Eastern Conference play-off semi-finals after a thrilling 128-120 victory over the Atlanta Hawks.<\/span><\/p>\n

Jaylen Brown scored 32 points and Jayson Tatum added 30 as the Celtics won the best-of-seven series 4-2.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

They will face the Philadelphia 76ers, who completed a <\/span>4-0 series sweep<\/span><\/a> of the Brooklyn Nets last weekend.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Celtics are the top seeds left in their conference after the Miami Heat’s shock win over the Milwaukee Bucks.<\/span><\/p>\n

In a contest featuring 22 lead changes, Trae Young, whose late three-pointer sealed victory for the Hawks in the previous game, scored 30 points with 10 assists.<\/span><\/p>\n

However, just five of those points came in the second half as Atlanta faded as the game wore on.<\/span><\/p>\n

A run of 11 unanswered points in the fourth quarter, including three straight three-pointers from Brown Tatum and Al Horford, saw the Celtics take a grip on the game that proved decisive.<\/span><\/p>\n

“We talked about finishing the game,” Horford said. <\/span><\/p>\n

“I felt the last game, for the most part, we were fine but tonight there was that sense of urgency. We understood how important it was to not extend the series.”<\/span><\/p>\n

Game one of the Celtic’s semi-final against the 76ers takes place in Boston on Monday.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
