After Action Report
The Hawks buried the Celtics 112-83. The better team simply showed up tonight. The Hawks answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; Hawks' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Celtics looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Celtics' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. One bad quarter was all it took to crack this one open.
What tipped it
- Hawks · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- Celtics · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Celtics · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
