Hawks coach Quin Snyder shared his statement on the difficulty of facing the Celtics after Murray’s suspension.

We’re all aware that beating Boston in the Garden under the current situation is a difficult task. [But] it’s something the entire team must accept,” Snyder remarked, as reported by ESPN.

“Dejounte realizes his role in the circumstance. That is not something you can do. You would have to ask him directly about what had happened prior. I believe there was frustration that built up during the game, and he did not handle it well. He understands that. “We talked about it,” Snyder explained.

Meanwhile, Murray concluded Sunday’s game with 23 points, nine rebounds, and six assists.

In the best-of-seven series, the Celtics just need one more win over the Hawks to be eliminated from the NBA playoffs. Game five between the two teams will be played on Tuesday night.
