After Action Report
The Hawks ran roughshod over the Celtics 118-98. The Celtics had no answer for the variance gods tonight. Second-chance points piled up for the Hawks; Hawks' outside barrage was a constant threat. The Celtics looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Celtics' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. The second half turned a coin-flip into a runaway.
What tipped it
- Hawks · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Celtics · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- Celtics · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
