NBA Playoffs: Hawks Down Lethargic Celtics, Lead Series 2-0; Spurs Also Up 2-0 After Delivering Another Beatdown On Grizzlies

The NBA Playoffs have two games scheduled for Tuesday with all times Pacific.

EASTERN CONFERENCE:

At Atlanta:

Al Horford and Kyle Korver each scored 17 points as the Atlanta Hawks stretched their conference quarterfinal series to two games to none as they defeated the visiting Boston Celtics 89-72.  The Hawks held the Celtics to seven points in the first quarter, the fewest points scored in an opening period of a playoff game since the advent of the 24-second shot clock in 1954.



WESTERN CONFERENCE:

At San Antonio:

Patty Mills scored 16 points while Kawhi Leonard added 13 as the San Antonio Spurs used a methodically-balanced attack in dominating the visiting Memphis Grizzlies 94-68 in game two of their conference quarterfinal series, which they now lead two games to none.
