After Action Report
The Celtics stunned the Hawks 122-102. The Hawks had no answer for the variance gods tonight. You could feel the revenge motivation from the Celtics; Celtics' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Celtics rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Add it to the list of nights the favorite forgot to show up.
What tipped it
- Celtics · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
- Hawks · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
