After Action Report
In Atlanta, the Hawks handled the Celtics 97-82. The Celtics couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Hawks. Hawks' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; Celtics' outside barrage was a constant threat. The Hawks locker room is humming, and it showed. Style points be damned.
What tipped it
- Hawks · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Hawks · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
