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.

What tipped it

  • 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.
  • Celtics · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Celtics · Catching Fire Riding a 4+ game winning streak — confidence is high.
  • Celtics · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
