Hawks worried about Josh Smith heading into Game 3

Rondo will be back in the lineup when the series shifts to Boston for the next two games. Also, the Celtics are still hoping to get a contribution from shooting guard Ray Allen, who’s missed the first two games of the series with a sprained right ankle.

Rivers gave his team Wednesday off.

As for the Hawks, they’re just hoping for the best with Smith.

“I don’t want to think about” not having him for Game 3, forward Marvin Williams said, shaking his head. “I’m just trying to stay optimistic at this point.”
