After Action Report
The Hawks buried the Celtics 106-85. Hawks torched the Celtics on the offensive end. The Hawks couldn't shake the cold spell; Hawks' veteran poise eliminated the costly mistakes. Garbage time started early.
What tipped it
- Hawks · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Hawks · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Celtics · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- Celtics · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
