After Action Report
The Hawks outlasted the Celtics 108-96. The tempo dragged the Celtics into a rhythm they couldn't survive. The Hawks owned the glass, generating extra possessions; the Hawks answered the bell with a bounce-back effort. The Celtics looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Survive-and-advance type win.
