After Action Report
The Hawks blew the doors off the Celtics 124-96. The Celtics had no answer for the variance gods tonight. Hawks' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Hawks answered the bell with a bounce-back effort. Hawks' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Never a doubt in this one.
