After Action Report
The Hawks pulled away from the Celtics 105-89. Ugly basketball, but the Hawks did just enough. Second-chance points piled up for the Hawks; the Celtics answered the bell with a bounce-back effort. The Celtics looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Celtics' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Style points be damned.
What tipped it
- Hawks · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Celtics · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- Celtics · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
