After Action Report
The Hawks blew the doors off the Celtics 132-96. Hawks torched the Celtics on the offensive end. Fresh off a statement win, the Hawks stayed locked in; Celtics' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. The Hawks locker room is humming, and it showed. Hawks' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Garbage time started early.
What tipped it
- Hawks · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
- Hawks · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Celtics · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Celtics · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Celtics · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
