After Action Report
In Atlanta, the Hawks ran roughshod over the Celtics 140-100. The Celtics had no answer for the variance gods tonight. Second-chance points piled up for the Celtics; Celtics' defenders refused to give up clean looks. Tonight's Celtics utilization choices clashed with the team identity. Never a doubt in this one.
