After Action Report

The Celtics buried the Hawks 122-94. The Hawks had no answer for the variance gods tonight. Celtics' defenders refused to give up clean looks; the Hawks answered the bell with a bounce-back effort. The Celtics locker room is humming, and it showed. Celtics' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. It was over by halftime.
