After Action Report
The Hawks upended the Celtics 129-127 in overtime. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Hawks cashed in. Second-chance points piled up for the Hawks; the Superstar Stack delivered when it mattered for the Celtics. On paper this one shouldn't have been close — basketball had other ideas.
What tipped it
- Celtics · Superstar Stack Two or more 90-overall stars bend games to their will on both ends.
- Celtics · Catching Fire Riding a 4+ game winning streak — confidence is high.
- Celtics · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Hawks · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
