After Action Report
In Atlanta, the Celtics rolled past the Hawks 159-131. The Hawks had no answer for the variance gods tonight. Celtics' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Celtics ride keeps rolling — they're catching fire. The Celtics bench chemistry carried them. One bad quarter was all it took to crack this one open.
