After Action Report
The Celtics ran roughshod over the Hawks 121-97. Celtics' offense had its way with the Hawks. Celtics' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Celtics owned the glass, generating extra possessions. The Celtics bench chemistry carried them. Hawks' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. It broke open after the break.
