After Action Report

The Hawks buried the Celtics 132-88. The Celtics had no answer for the variance gods tonight. Hawks' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Hawks bent the defense out of shape from deep. The Hawks locker room is humming, and it showed. Celtics' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. It was over by halftime.

What tipped it

  • Hawks · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Hawks · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
  • Celtics · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Celtics · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
  • Celtics · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
