After Action Report
The Celtics buried the Hawks 120-93. Celtics' starting five clicked while the Hawks looked disjointed. Celtics' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense. The Celtics bench chemistry carried them. Celtics' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. It was over by halftime.
What tipped it
- Hawks · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Celtics · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
