After Action Report

The Hawks buried the Celtics 115-92. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Hawks cashed in. The Hawks played with the chip of a recent gutting loss; the Celtics owned the glass, generating extra possessions. The Hawks locker room is humming, and it showed. It was over by halftime.
