After Action Report
In Atlanta, the Celtics handled the Hawks 131-117. Celtics torched the Hawks on the offensive end. Celtics' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo; Hawks' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim. The Hawks rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night.
What tipped it
- Hawks · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Hawks · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
