After Action Report
The Celtics pulled away from the Hawks 109-99. Celtics' offense had its way with the Hawks. Celtics' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Celtics sent shots into the fifth row all night. The Celtics locker room is humming, and it showed. Tonight's Hawks utilization choices clashed with the team identity. Style points be damned.
