After Action Report
The Hawks snuck past the Celtics 109-108. The Celtics couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Hawks. Hawks' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; second-chance points piled up for the Hawks. The Hawks bench chemistry carried them. Early returns: the Hawks per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
