In Boston, the Celtics pulled away from the Hawks 100-89. The Celtics won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. Celtics' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; Hawks' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. The Celtics locker room is humming, and it showed. Celtics' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Survive-and-advance type win.
