After Action Report

The Celtics fended off the Hawks 104-95. The Celtics got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. Celtics' skid keeps deepening — heads down on both ends; the Hawks carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one.

What tipped it

  • 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.
  • 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.
