After Action Report
The Hawks survived the Celtics 104-103. Hawks' scorers couldn't be contained. Celtics' skid keeps deepening — heads down on both ends; Celtics' old heads steadied the ship in the swings. The Hawks bench chemistry carried them. Celtics' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Style points be damned.
What tipped it
- Celtics · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Celtics · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Hawks · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
