After Action Report
The Hawks shocked the Celtics 109-102. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Hawks cashed in. The Hawks came in with something to prove after a loss; the Celtics owned the glass, generating extra possessions. On paper this one shouldn't have been close — basketball had other ideas.
