In a track meet, the Celtics squeaked past the Hawks 112-107. Celtics controlled the tempo from tip to buzzer. The Celtics pushed the pace until the other side broke; the Hawks bent the defense out of shape from deep. Celtics' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Survive-and-advance type win.
