After Action Report
The Celtics took care of the Hawks 131-113. Celtics controlled the tempo from tip to buzzer. Celtics' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Celtics owned the glass, generating extra possessions. The Celtics locker room is humming, and it showed. The Hawks rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night.
