After Action Report

The Celtics took care of the Hawks 112-97. The better team simply showed up tonight. The Celtics played with the chip of a recent gutting loss; Celtics' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Celtics locker room is humming, and it showed. Style points be damned.

  • Hawks · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • 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.
  • Hawks · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
