Maybe there was a reason the Atlanta Hawks seemed to have blurry vision in their 99-65 debacle of a Game 7 loss in Boston. Word is, a Boston bar operator might have played a role in the Celtics’ 34-point blowout a week ago that vaulted the Celtics to the second round. The Hawks stayed at the Liberty Hotel on May 3 in Cambridge before playing the Celtics. A league source said the operator of the Alibi Lounge in the hotel instructed his bar staff to give anyone affiliated with the Hawks a double shot in any alcoholic beverage.
