The Celtics demolished the Hawks 143-117. Celtics' scorers couldn't be contained. Celtics' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Celtics pushed the pace until the other side broke. The Celtics locker room is humming, and it showed. Early returns: the Celtics per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. It was over by halftime.
