After Action Report
The Hawks blew the doors off the Celtics 135-88. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Hawks cashed in. The Hawks steamroller is in full effect right now; Hawks' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense. The Hawks locker room is humming, and it showed. Early returns: the Hawks per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. It was over by halftime.
What tipped it
