After Action Report

The Hawks squeaked past the Celtics 133-129 in overtime. The Celtics had no answer for the variance gods tonight. Hawks' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo; Celtics' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense. The Hawks locker room is humming, and it showed. The Hawks rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift.

What tipped it

  • Hawks · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
  • Celtics · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
