The Celtics have made the playoffs in each of the last 12 years, the longest active playoff streak in the NBA. Tatum scored a season-high 32 points in the win.'We know if we want to win a championship we need him at a high level,' Pritchard said. 'So it's definitely encouraging, but he's getting better and better each game and looking more and more like himself.'The victory over the Hornets also gave Boston its 50th win. The Celtics have won at least 50 games in each of the last five years.'A testament to the alignment (of) of the organization and to the players,' Boston coach Joe Mazzulla said. 'It's a minor milestone. I wouldn't say it's a true definition of success, but I think it's a definition of consistency.'Atlanta coach Quin Snyder recorded his 500th career NBA coaching victory when Atlanta beat Sacramento 123-113 Saturday night.Before joining the Hawks, Snyder was Utah's coach for eight seasons. He guided the Jazz to the postseason six times.'It was special,' said Snyder, 59. 'When you've been in this league for a while you realize that coaches -- they keep your record -- but it's really the players and the other people that allow for that to happen. I've been really lucky to be able to coach not just really good players, but some quality people. That makes it fun. It's your extended family.'Jock Landale, who was a late scratch because of right shoulder impingement when Boston beat Atlanta on Friday, had 19 points and 13 rebounds in the Hawks' victory over Sacramento. It was Landale's first double-double since he joined the Hawks on Feb. 5.'It's gonna be something that's there for a little while,' Landale said when asked about playing with shoulder pain. 'I'm going to be OK with it. It's something I've just had to come to terms with. We've got a great medical staff here that has been real transparent with me. The consensus is in the offseason, when I've got some time to rest, it'll go away.'

As for the team, Landale said: 'I think we've done a really good job just figuring out our identity and our play style as a first and second unit, and that has definitely translated into the wins column at home. We've got some tough ones coming up. Hopefully we can continue that streak against some of the better teams in the NBA.'--Field Level Media
