While the Hawks blew an 11-point third quarter lead and lost to the Rajon Rondo-less Celtics, 87-80, Atlanta point guard Jeff Teague was busy putting together an in-game mixtape.
Teagues dishing, dunking and defense earned him four of the 10 spots on the NBA's list of top plays last night's games.
His contributions:
- A HUGE dunk -- who knew how much the 6-2 Teague could fly? -- in the lane that came in at No. 8.
- At No. 7, he was part of a fastbreak that ended with a dunk by Josh Smith.
- Teague was part of another fastbreak at No. 3, starting it off with a steal, then finding Joe Johnson who eventually hit Josh Smith for a dunk.
- And, at No. 2, a nasty block on a Keyon Dooling corner three attempt.
Teague finished with 18 points, but shot just 6-for-18 from the field in the loss.
With the win, the Celtics stole home court advantage heading back to Boston.
