After Action Report
In Atlanta, the Hawks ran roughshod over the Celtics 125-86. The Hawks got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. Hawks' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; second-chance points piled up for the Celtics. The Hawks locker room is humming, and it showed. Hawks' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. It was over by halftime.
What tipped it
- Hawks · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Hawks · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Celtics · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
