BOSTON (AP) -
The Atlanta Hawks seemed to have found the answer to their
injury woes: a rejuvenated Tracy McGrady, who was putting together a playoff
game reminiscent of his youth.
But then McGrady landed awkwardly, rolled his right ankle and crumpled to the
court. After limping off the court with assistance, he returned for the second
half. But he did not make another basket, and the Celtics held on to beat the
depleted Hawks 90-84 in overtime to take a 2-1 lead in the best-of-seven
series.
McGrady says he'll be ready to go in Game 4 on Sunday night. The Hawks will
need to win that one to avoid reaching the brink of elimination.
