After Action Report
The Hawks shocked the Celtics 113-105. The Hawks got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. The Hawks carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one; the Hawks pushed the pace until the other side broke. On paper this one shouldn't have been close — basketball had other ideas.
