After Action Report
The Hawks handled the Celtics 121-109. The Celtics had no answer for the variance gods tonight. The Celtics came in with something to prove after a loss; the Celtics pushed the pace until the other side broke. The Celtics looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. The Hawks rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift.
