After Action Report
The Celtics squeaked past the Hawks 101-98. Every possession went the Celtics way. The Celtics carried the confidence of a hot streak right into this one; Celtics' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Celtics bench chemistry carried them. Hawks' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Survive-and-advance type win.
