    Hawks Upset Celtics to Clinch First Round Series

    Hawks 101, Celtics 99 F

    ATLANTA, Georgia, May 4, 2008

    In what is being considered a greater upset than last year's Cinderella match, in which Golden State upset Dallas, the Atlanta Hawks just completed the second first round elimination of a team that had won at least 65 games or more in a regular season.

    Al Horford willed his team on one good leg, shaking off a strained hamstring to score 28 points, Joe Johnson made a franchise playoff-record nine 3-pointers, and Atlanta became just the second No. 8 seed to capture a best-of-seven playoff series with a 101-99 victory over the NBA-best Boston Celtics in Game 7 on Sunday night.

    "We made NBA history tonight and that's the best thing about it. We did it as a team,'' Horford said. "I'm so proud of my teammates and proud to be a part of this franchise.''

    "I wanted to be aggressive,'' Johnson said. "Al came out and told me he wasn't feeling as good as he had in previous games, and he wanted me to carry us. I wanted to stay focused, not worry about calls, not get too emotional, just bring my energy with my play.''

    well this was done back in March, and the Hawks are still on the verge of upsetting the Celtics... so I don't think the supposed jinx is working
