After Action Report
In Boston, the Celtics snuck past the Hawks 101-99. Ugly basketball, but the Celtics did just enough. 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. Survive-and-advance type win.
