After Action Report
The Celtics rolled past the Hawks 153-113. Celtics' offense had its way with the Hawks. Celtics' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; Celtics' old heads steadied the ship in the swings. The Celtics locker room is humming, and it showed. It was over by halftime.
What tipped it
- Celtics · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Celtics · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Hawks · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Hawks · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
