After Action Report
In Atlanta, the Celtics ran roughshod over the Hawks 127-102. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Celtics cashed in. Celtics' stars took over and bent the game to their will; Celtics' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Celtics bench chemistry carried them. Never a doubt in this one.
