After Action Report
In Boston, the Celtics squeaked past the Hawks 111-107. Every possession went the Celtics way. Hawks' old heads steadied the ship in the swings. The Celtics locker room is humming, and it showed. The Hawks rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Style points be damned.
What tipped it
- Celtics · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Hawks · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
