After Action Report
In Boston, the Hawks snuck past the Celtics 121-118. Hawks' scorers couldn't be contained. The Hawks came in with something to prove after a loss; the Hawks pushed the pace until the other side broke. Whispers of a Celtics locker-room rift aren't helping.
What tipped it
- Celtics · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Celtics · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Hawks · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
