After Action Report
The Celtics demolished the Hawks 131-92. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Celtics cashed in. Second-chance points piled up for the Celtics; the Celtics steamroller is in full effect right now. The Celtics locker room is humming, and it showed. Celtics' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Garbage time started early.
