After Action Report
The Hawks snuck past the Celtics 108-103. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Hawks cashed in. Shots just aren't falling for the Hawks lately; the Celtics owned the glass, generating extra possessions. The Celtics rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night.
What tipped it
- Celtics · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Celtics · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Hawks · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
