The Sports Inquirer attended the post-practice presser of Atlanta Hawks’ guard Kent Bazemore before his team’s home playoff contest against the Boston Celtics in game two of the first round. Atlanta won Game One 102-101 on April 16 with Bazemore scoring a playoff career-high 23 points and grabbing eight rebounds.
Topics included thoughts on the first game of the series, the effects the series-long injury to Celtics’ guard Avery Bradley will have on Boston, Bazemore’s personal journey from a reserve last season to a starter for this year’s playoffs and the announcement of Hawks’ assistant Kenny Atkinson named as the new head coach of the Brooklyn Nets.
