After Action Report
The Celtics squeaked past the Hawks 117-115. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Celtics cashed in. The Celtics pushed the pace until the other side broke; Hawks' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim. Whispers of a Hawks locker-room rift aren't helping. Hawks' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan.
What tipped it
- Hawks · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Hawks · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Hawks · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
