After Action Report
The Hawks demolished the Celtics 140-115. The Celtics had no answer for the variance gods tonight. Fresh off a statement win, the Hawks stayed locked in; the Celtics are in a full-on tailspin. The Hawks bench chemistry carried them. Celtics' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. It broke open after the break.
What tipped it
- Celtics · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Celtics · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Hawks · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
- Hawks · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
