After Action Report
The Hawks pulled away from the Celtics 104-94. Ugly basketball, but the Hawks did just enough. The Hawks owned the glass, generating extra possessions; the Hawks came in with something to prove after a loss. The Celtics looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Celtics' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Survive-and-advance type win.
What tipped it
- Hawks · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Hawks · 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.
