After Action Report
The Celtics edged the Hawks 112-105. The better team simply showed up tonight. Hawks' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Hawks owned the glass, generating extra possessions. The Celtics locker room is humming, and it showed. Hawks' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan.
What tipped it
- Celtics · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Hawks · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Hawks · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
