After Action Report
The Celtics survived the Hawks 108-106. Celtics' offense had its way with the Hawks. The Celtics bent the defense out of shape from deep; Hawks' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. The Celtics locker room is humming, and it showed. The Hawks rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Style points be damned.
What tipped it
- Celtics · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Hawks · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
