After Action Report
The Celtics ran roughshod over the Hawks 120-85. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Celtics cashed in. Celtics' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; fresh off a statement win, the Celtics stayed locked in. The Celtics bench chemistry carried them. Never a doubt in this one.
