After Action Report
In Boston, the Hawks ran roughshod over the Celtics 128-87. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Hawks cashed in. The Superstar Stack delivered when it mattered for the Hawks; the Celtics ride keeps rolling — they're catching fire. The Hawks bench chemistry carried them. Hawks' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Garbage time started early.
