After Action Report

The Hawks shocked the Celtics 102-98. Execution down the stretch made the difference. The Hawks owned the glass, generating extra possessions; the Hawks ride keeps rolling — they're catching fire. The Hawks locker room is humming, and it showed. Hawks' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Add it to the list of nights the favorite forgot to show up.
