De’Andre Hunter scored 24 points, including a clinching 3-pointer with 9.2 seconds remaining, and the patched-together Atlanta Hawks rallied from a 30-point deficit for a stunning 120-118 victory over the NBA-leading Boston Celtics. The Celtics had won 20 of 22 and brought a nine-game winning streak into State Farm Arena. Their run certainly appeared in no jeopardy when Al Horford’s 3-pointer put Boston up 68-38 with just under 4 1/2 minutes left in the first half. But the Hawks launched a comeback out of nowhere with All-Star guard Trae Young and three other key players sidelined by injuries. Dejounte Murray put the Hawks ahead to stay at 117-116 on a reverse layup with a minute left. Boston lost despite despite 37 points from Jayson Tatum.
