The Boston Celtics and Atlanta Hawks will both be at full strength, relatively speaking, for the first time in Game 4 of their 2012 NBA Playoffs first-round series. Celtics guard Avery Bradley was the only question mark after suffering a shoulder injury in Game 3 on Friday, but he will give it a go, according to Sherrod Blakely of CSN New England.
