After Action Report

The Celtics downed the Hawks 136-124. Celtics controlled the tempo from tip to buzzer. Celtics' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; Celtics' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. The Celtics locker room is humming, and it showed. Early returns: the Celtics per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight.
