ATLANTA (AP) – Tyronn Lue scored 26 points with 10 assists, and Zaza Pachulia had 22 points and 12 rebounds to help the Atlanta Hawks beat the Boston Celtics 104-96 on Tuesday night.

Gerald Green’s career-high 33 points led Boston, which has lost five straight on the road and 16 of 19. Overall, the Celtics have a four-game losing streak.

The Hawks, who had dropped eight of nine, were without their top three leading scorers after Josh Smith earned a two-game suspension for arguing with coach Mike Woodson in an overtime loss at Philadelphia on Sunday.

Boston also didn’t have its top three scorers as Paul Pierce, Al Jefferson and Wally Szczerbiak all missed the game with injuries.

Green hit a 3-pointer at the 4:55 mark of the second quarter to match Boston’s biggest lead at 13, but Pachulia’s 16-footer ended a 28-14 run to give the Hawks a 64-63 lead with 8:07 left in the third.

Leon Powe had 19 points and Rajon Rondo 16 as the Celtics fell to 23-54, worst in the Eastern Conference.

Marvin Williams scored 21 points for Atlanta, which has the third-worst record in the East at 29-49.
