After Action Report

In Atlanta, the Hawks survived the Celtics 115-113. The tempo dragged the Celtics into a rhythm they couldn't survive. Hawks' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; Hawks' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense. The Hawks locker room is humming, and it showed.
