After Action Report
The Hawks fended off the Celtics 102-96. Ugly basketball, but the Hawks did just enough. Hawks' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Hawks carried the confidence of a hot streak right into this one. The Hawks locker room is humming, and it showed. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- Hawks · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Hawks · Catching Fire Riding a 4+ game winning streak — confidence is high.
- Hawks · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Celtics · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
