After Action Report

The Hawks outlasted the Celtics 122-114. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Hawks cashed in. The Hawks owned the glass, generating extra possessions; the Hawks couldn't shake the cold spell. Early returns: the Hawks per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight.
