BOSTON (AP) - Joe Johnson scored 24 points, Jamal Crawford had
18 and the Atlanta Hawks pulled away in the fourth quarter for a
97-86 win over the Boston Celtics on Friday night.
Josh Smith scored 14 and Al Horford had 12 points and 13
rebounds as the Hawks (7-2) continued their strong start this
season, sending Boston to its second straight Friday night home
loss.
Last week, Phoenix gave Boston (8-2) its first loss of the
season after a 7-0 start.
Paul Pierce led the Celtics with 24 points despite bruising his
left knee early in the third quarter. Kevin Garnett and Kendrick
Perkins scored 14 points apiece.
