After Action Report

The Celtics buried the Hawks 113-91. Ugly basketball, but the Celtics did just enough. The Celtics came in with something to prove after a loss; Hawks' skid keeps deepening — heads down on both ends. The Celtics bench chemistry carried them. Never a doubt in this one.

What tipped it

  • Hawks · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
  • Hawks · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
  • Celtics · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
  • Celtics · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
