After Action Report
The Hawks snuck past the Celtics 107-103. Hawks torched the Celtics on the offensive end. Hawks' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; fresh off a statement win, the Celtics stayed locked in. The Hawks locker room is humming, and it showed. Hawks' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- Hawks · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Hawks · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Celtics · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
