After Action Report

The Hawks upended the Celtics 105-97. Hawks' starting five clicked while the Celtics looked disjointed. The Hawks owned the glass, generating extra possessions; Hawks' outside barrage was a constant threat. The Hawks locker room is humming, and it showed. The Hawks rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Add it to the list of nights the favorite forgot to show up.
