After Action Report

The Hawks ran roughshod over the Celtics 122-97. Every possession went the Hawks way. Hawks' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Hawks owned the glass, generating extra possessions. The Hawks locker room is humming, and it showed. The Hawks rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Garbage time started early.

What tipped it

  • 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 · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
  • Celtics · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
