After Action Report
The Hawks rolled past the Celtics 125-105. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Hawks cashed in. You could feel the revenge motivation from the Hawks; Hawks' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense. The Hawks bench chemistry carried them. The Hawks rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. It was over by halftime.
