After Action Report
The Celtics ran roughshod over the Hawks 121-94. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Celtics cashed in. The Celtics looked unstoppable — pure Buzzsaw mode; you could feel the revenge motivation from the Hawks. The Celtics bench chemistry carried them. It was over by halftime.
What tipped it
- Hawks · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
- Celtics · Buzzsaw An 8+ game winning streak — they cannot be stopped (until the league catches up).
- Celtics · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
