After Action Report
The Celtics handled the Hawks 114-98. Celtics' scorers couldn't be contained. The Celtics carried the confidence of a hot streak right into this one; Hawks' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Celtics locker room is humming, and it showed. Tonight's Hawks utilization choices clashed with the team identity. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- Celtics · Catching Fire Riding a 4+ game winning streak — confidence is high.
- Celtics · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Hawks · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
