After Action Report
The Hawks survived the Celtics 109-107. Hawks torched the Celtics on the offensive end. Hawks' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; Celtics' skid keeps deepening — heads down on both ends. The Hawks locker room is humming, and it showed. Hawks' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
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 · 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.
