After Action Report
The Hawks snuck past the Celtics 128-126. The tempo dragged the Celtics into a rhythm they couldn't survive. The Hawks pushed the pace until the other side broke; the Celtics pushed the pace until the other side broke. The Hawks rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift.
