After Action Report

In Atlanta, the Celtics shocked the Hawks 93-92. Ugly basketball, but the Celtics did just enough. Celtics' old heads steadied the ship in the swings; the Hawks came in with something to prove after a loss. The Celtics bench chemistry carried them. Tonight's Hawks utilization choices clashed with the team identity. On paper this one shouldn't have been close — basketball had other ideas.
