The Boston Celtics pluck feisty Atlanta Hawks' tailfeathers

Antoine Walker stole the ball from Al Harrington with 35 seconds left and fed Ricky Davis for the clinching basket on Wednesday night as the Boston Celtics withstood the unusually feisty Atlanta Hawks for a 95-91 victory.

"It was just a great play by Antoine," Celtics coach Doc Rivers said. "You've got to think Antoine knows where [Harrington] is going. He played against them every day. It was a good guess."

The Hawks, who have the worst record in the NBA and just two road wins in 32 tries, led for the first 42 minutes and didn't trail until Paul Pierce hit a fallaway jumper with 3:53 left. Pierce finished with 27 points and 10 rebounds, making 10 of 12 free throws in the fourth quarter to ice the game.

Walker had 15 points and nine rebounds for the Celtics, who are 5-1 since getting him from Atlanta at the trading deadline. Davis scored 21 for the Atlantic Division-leading Celtics.

"It's beyond a number right now. It seems like we can't remember our last win," Harrington said. "Tonight was a great opportunity to get one. Guys put it in my hands and I couldn't deliver."

Harrington scored 21 points with 13 rebounds, Obinna Ekezie had 10 and 10 and Tyronn Lue scored 25 for the Hawks.
