The Boston Celtics have dropped back-to-back games in gut-wrenching fashion.
On Sunday, they lost to the New Orleans Pelicans in overtime after blowing a 24-point second-half lead. The comeback was the biggest in the history of the Pelicans franchise.
Then, Tuesday night, the C's tried to erase a late-game Mavericks lead and tied the game with under 10 seconds left. However, Mavericks star Luka Doncic nailed a 3-point shot with 0.1 seconds left on the clock to give Dallas a 110-107 victory.

Forsberg: How can these broken Celtics be fixed?
Now, for the third time in eight days, the Celtics (15-16) are taking on the Atlanta Hawks. They'll need to win to improve to 2-1 against the Hawks this season and to bring their record back up to .500.
Doing so won't be easy. The Hawks are led by Trae Young, who is averaging 27 points and 9.6 assists per game this season. He played well against the C's when Kemba Walker was out of the lineup, so he'll have a chance to shine again with Walker sitting out the latter end of a back-to-back.
Meanwhile, Clint Capela is averaging 14.8 points and 14 rebounds per game and played very well in his two games against the Celtics this year.
