The Boston Celtics and the Atlanta Hawks are all set to lock horns on the 27th of April at the State Farm Arena. Although the Celtics are leading the playoffs matchup 3-2, the Hawks have a good chance to redeem their chances. While an important game is set to be played at the State Farm Arena in Atlanta, a massive scheduling blunder has triggered a major controversy, which has even prompted Trae Young to send a 3-word message to popular musician Janet Jackson.

This revelation of the scheduling blunder caused an uproar on social media. Amid all the craziness, Hawks star Trae Young couldn’t help himself but send a message to the Grammy-winning artist.

After securing a 3-1 lead in the first 4 games, the Celtics were in a comfortable position, all set to wrap the series up. However, the Hawks’ point guard had different plans. Young dropped 38 points in game 5 and disrupted the Celtics’ plans. Young’s performance called for a game 6 to be held for the playoff round.

Although this might have been good news for NBA fans, the news of a scheduling blunder soon surfaced on the internet. Janet Jackson is currently on her Together Again Tour. It was revealed that her concert and the Hawks v Celtics game are scheduled on the same day.

According to many fans, the blunder happened because the arena authorities underestimated the Hawks’ chances of making it so far in the series. This caused major controversy on social media.

Following this, Hawks star Trae Young left a message for the music superstar. Young tweeted “Sorry not sorry to this LEGEND.” The 24-year-old then went on to make a special request to Jackson. Young continued “Hope she can be at the game now!”, as the music concert was postponed because of the game. Senior NBA Insider Chris Haynes reported that the Together Again Tour‘s Atlanta stop will be moved up to the 28th of April.

Since none of the teams managed to secure a series win before game 6, immediate scheduling had to be done.

The Atlanta Hawks still have a chance to seal their chances in the playoffs

After forcing a game 6 because of their 119-117 win against the Celtics, the Hawks have the chance to take the series to game 7. While the Celtics maintain a 3-2 lead and only need one win to eliminate the Atlanta team, the Hawks’ performance in the last game was spectacular. They now have a brilliant chance of leveling the series on their home turf. If they secure another win here, the decider game 7 will be held in Boston.
