"I feel very good," said Zaza Pachulia, a little-used center who's making quite an impact in this series. "You've got to be able to win on the road. We've lost three in a row. We should be able to win one up there. It would be sad if we lost four in a row."

Marvin Williams led the Hawks with 18 points despite missing much of the fourth quarter with a sprained left knee. Kevin Garnett had 22 points for the Celtics and Ray Allen added 20, but Paul Pierce - the other member of Boston's Big Three - fouled out on a disputed call with 4:44 remaining.

"It's definitely a dream," Atlanta's Josh Smith said.

Joe Johnson, who went to the final period with just seven points on 3-of-9 shooting, saved his biggest shot for the end. He got James Posey in the air with a pump fake before hitting Atlanta's only 3-pointer of the game to make it 100-95 with 1:07 left.

Posey returned the favor by making a tough 3 from the wing with 48 seconds left, and the Celtics had a chance when Johnson missed a runner in the lane.

Wanting to finish off the Hawks, Boston drew up a play to give Allen a look from beyond the arc. He missed; Johnson got the rebound, was fouled and hit two free throws with 10.6 seconds left.

After a quick basket by Garnett, Mike Bibby made only one of two free throws with 7.4 seconds to go, giving the Celtics a shot at overtime. But the Hawks kept the ball from Allen and Posey, forcing Rajon Rondo to launch a long 3 that didn't even hit the rim as the horn sounded.
