After Action Report
The Hawks shocked the Celtics 134-103. The Hawks got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. The Hawks owned the glass, generating extra possessions; the Hawks couldn't shake the cold spell. Hawks' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Add it to the list of nights the favorite forgot to show up.
