After Action Report
The Celtics edged the Hawks 102-96. The Hawks couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Celtics. Fresh off a statement win, the Celtics stayed locked in; Hawks' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Celtics bench chemistry carried them. Hawks' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Style points be damned.
What tipped it
- Celtics · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
- Celtics · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
