The Celtics also had a three-point lead and possession of the ball with 20.1 seconds remaining in the fourth quarter. Jayson Tatum also had a chance to win the game in the final seconds of regulation but his buzzer-beater attempt hit the rim and bounced out.
The Hawks scored 15 points on 5-for-9 shooting in the OT period to close out the win.
