After Action Report
The Celtics blew the doors off the Hawks 129-82. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Celtics cashed in. Celtics' stars took over and bent the game to their will; fresh off a statement win, the Celtics stayed locked in. The Celtics locker room is humming, and it showed. Celtics' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Garbage time started early.
What tipped it
- Celtics · Superstar Stack Two or more 90-overall stars bend games to their will on both ends.
- Celtics · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
- Celtics · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Hawks · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- Hawks · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
