After Action Report
In Atlanta, the Hawks squeaked past the Celtics 117-115. Hawks' offense had its way with the Celtics. Second-chance points piled up for the Hawks; Hawks' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. The Hawks locker room is humming, and it showed. Hawks' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- Hawks · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Hawks · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
