After Action Report

The Celtics snuck past the Hawks 112-111. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Celtics cashed in. Celtics' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense; the Hawks answered the bell with a bounce-back effort. The Celtics bench chemistry carried them. Early returns: the Celtics per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight.
