After Action Report
In Atlanta, the Hawks took care of the Celtics 121-108. Hawks torched the Celtics on the offensive end. Hawks' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; Celtics' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Celtics rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night.
What tipped it
- Hawks · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Celtics · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
