After Action Report

In a track meet, the Hawks took care of the Celtics 131-121. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Hawks cashed in. The Hawks looked unstoppable — pure Buzzsaw mode; Hawks' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. The Hawks bench chemistry carried them.

What tipped it

  • Celtics · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • 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.
  • Hawks · Buzzsaw An 8+ game winning streak — they cannot be stopped (until the league catches up).
