Celtics @ Hawks Stat Pack

*The Celtics head into Saturday having lost 5 consecutive games by double digits for the first time in franchise history.
–The Celtics are not the only team with a streak of that sort this season though.
–Earlier this month, the Utah Jazz lost six straight contests by at least 10 points. Oddly enough, the Celtics were one of the teams to defeat the Jazz during that streak.

*If the Celtics lose on Saturday, they will have lost 7 consecutive games for the first time since April 2007.

*The Celtics’ early-season success against the Southeast Division:
–The Celtics have averaged more than 101 points per game against teams from that division in 2013-14, and they have a 3-1 record against them.

*Jordan Crawford has at least 1 steal in each of his last 9 games, which is a new career-high for him.

*Recent Meetings: Celtics vs. Hawks
–Each of the previous 7 times that the Hawks have hosted the Celtics, the teams have alternated victories.
–The last time the Celtics were in Atlanta to play a game: Rajon Rondo tore his right ACL, and the Hawks overcame a 27-point Celtics lead to win in double overtime.
