After Action Report
The Celtics rolled past the Hawks 124-85. The Celtics got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. 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. The Celtics rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Garbage time started early.
