After Action Report
The Hawks blew the doors off the Celtics 117-92. The Hawks got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. Second-chance points piled up for the Hawks; Hawks' old heads steadied the ship in the swings. The Hawks bench chemistry carried them. Hawks' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. The second half turned a coin-flip into a runaway.
