After Action Report
The Hawks survived the Celtics 109-106. The Hawks won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. Hawks' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; fresh off a statement win, the Hawks stayed locked in. The Hawks locker room is humming, and it showed. The Celtics rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- Hawks · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Hawks · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
- Hawks · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Celtics · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Celtics · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
