NBA 2018-19: 3 Talking points from the Boston Celtics Win Over the Atlanta Hawks

#3 The Celtics bench played far better than that of the Hawks on the given night

The bench, as a whole, added 58 points while the starters sat for the most part of the last period

All the players on the roster (except Marcus Smart who scored 0 points in 27 minutes) contributed to the winning cause for the Celtics. The bench, as a whole, added 58 points while the starters sat for the most part of the last period.

Hayward had missed the past two games due to illness, but he returned to score 19 points on 7-of-10 shooting, including a perfect 3-for-3 on three-pointers in just 18 minutes of playtime.

On a night when the Celtics were without veteran Al Horford, Daniel Theis scored 18 points with seven rebounds off the bench, shooting 6-of-9 from the floor.

"We've been playing well over the past couple of games, just coming out with some pace and some attitude and just setting the tempo," said Morris, who made six of Boston's 19 3-pointers.
