After Action Report
The Celtics snuck past the Hawks 101-100. The Celtics won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. Celtics' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; Celtics' shot-blockers turned the paint into a no-fly zone. The Celtics locker room is humming, and it showed. Celtics' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Style points be damned.
