Jalen Johnson collected 20 points, 12 rebounds and five assists as the Atlanta Hawks extended their home winning streak to 13 games with a 112-102 victory over the Boston Celtics on Monday night.

Atlanta's Jock Landale was ruled out due to an illness.
It was the second meeting between the teams in the past four days. Boston prevailed 109-102 at home on Friday.
The Celtics shot 57.1% from the field in the first quarter and had a 30-29 lead after 12 minutes.

The score was 54-54 at halftime.
Atlanta had the first double-digit lead of the game after a Jonathan Kuminga basket put the Hawks up 79-68 with 4:27 remaining in the third quarter. The Hawks outscored the Celtics 36-22 in the period and had a 90-76 advantage entering the final quarter.
The Hawks had their largest lead, 101-80, following a Zaccharie Risacher 3-pointer with 8:29 to play. Boston responded with a 15-2 run to pull within eight on a 3-pointer by Brown with 2:13 remaining, but Atlanta led by at least eight the rest of the way.
