After Action Report
In a track meet, the Celtics blew the doors off the Hawks 149-117. Celtics' scorers couldn't be contained. Celtics' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; Hawks' skid keeps deepening — heads down on both ends. The Celtics locker room is humming, and it showed. The second half turned a coin-flip into a runaway.
What tipped it
- Celtics · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Celtics · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Hawks · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Hawks · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
