After Action Report
In Boston, the Hawks fended off the Celtics 138-132 in overtime. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Hawks cashed in. The Hawks bent the defense out of shape from deep; Celtics' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Hawks bench chemistry carried them. Celtics' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan.
What tipped it
- Hawks · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
