The Hawks buried the Celtics 138-106. Hawks torched the Celtics on the offensive end. The Hawks carried the confidence of a hot streak right into this one; Celtics' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. The Hawks locker room is humming, and it showed. The Celtics rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. One bad quarter was all it took to crack this one open.
