After Action Report
The Hawks outlasted the Celtics 136-117. Hawks' offense had its way with the Celtics. The Hawks came in with something to prove after a loss; Hawks' old heads steadied the ship in the swings. Whispers of a Celtics locker-room rift aren't helping. Early returns: the Hawks per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight.
What tipped it
- Celtics · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Hawks · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
