After Action Report
The Celtics blew the doors off the Hawks 127-101. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Celtics cashed in. Celtics' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; Celtics' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Celtics bench chemistry carried them. It was over by halftime.
