After Action Report
In Atlanta, the Hawks handled the Celtics 120-109. The breakneck pace played right into Hawks' hands. Hawks' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Hawks answered the bell with a bounce-back effort.
What tipped it
- Hawks · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Hawks · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- Celtics · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
