The Boston Celtics defeated the Atlanta Hawks in six games to advance to the second round of the Eastern Conference playoffs. The Hawks had managed to keep the series alive after a thrilling Game 5 victory in Boston. However, that win also resulted in a major scheduling blunder by the Hawks’ home arena. After the Celtics managed to close out the series on Thursday night, star Jayson Tatum offered a sincere apology for ruining the schedule.

Trae Young went off in Game 5 to ensure the Hawks got at least one more game back in Atlanta this postseason. While that was certainly an exciting development, it caught fans by surprise when it was revealed that the State Farm Arena in Atlanta had made a big gaffe, which must have caused a headache to five-time Grammy Award winner, Janet Jackson.

The Boston Celtics took care of business in Game 6 against the Atlanta Hawks. The game finished with a final score of 128-120. Even after a strong performance by the Hawks, the Celtics were just too much to handle.

After defeating the Hawks in Atlanta, three-time All-Star Jayson Tatum surprisingly issued an apology to the $360 million worth singer, Janet Jackson. The State Farm Arena had made a huge scheduling blunder. They had double-booked Game 6 and a Janet Jackson concert, which ultimately led to the postponement of the concert.
