After Action Report
The Hawks stunned the Celtics 121-117. The Hawks got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. The Hawks owned the glass, generating extra possessions; Hawks' outside barrage was a constant threat. The Hawks locker room is humming, and it showed. Early returns: the Hawks per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. On paper this one shouldn't have been close — basketball had other ideas.
