After Action Report
The Celtics buried the Hawks 118-89. The Celtics got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. The Celtics carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one; Celtics' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Celtics bench chemistry carried them. Celtics' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Garbage time started early.
