After Action Report
The Celtics shocked the Hawks 116-108. The Celtics got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. The Celtics answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; Celtics' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Celtics bench chemistry carried them. On paper this one shouldn't have been close — basketball had other ideas.
