After Action Report
In Atlanta, the Celtics rolled past the Hawks 131-101. The Hawks had no answer for the variance gods tonight. The Celtics carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one; Celtics' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Celtics bench chemistry carried them. Garbage time started early.
