Celtics, 27-19 (1)
The Celtics are holding the Hawks to 42-percent shooting here after one quarter. Joe Johnson picked up two quick fouls in the game and had to be replaced by Marvin Williams.
The Hawks have just 2 assists so far. The Celtics have 9.
Paul Pierce is dominating on the offensive end for the Celtics. He has 10 points and has been taking it to the basket at will.
Mike Bibby is getting the Mike Bibby treatment from the crowd. Al Horford is getting something less.
Kendrick Perkins ditched his protective face mask at the 9:45 mark. You could tell it was bothering him.
More to come.
