After Action Report
The Celtics blew the doors off the Hawks 116-86. The Hawks had no answer for the variance gods tonight. Second-chance points piled up for the Celtics; the Celtics bent the defense out of shape from deep. Whispers of a Hawks locker-room rift aren't helping. Never a doubt in this one.
What tipped it
- Hawks · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Hawks · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Celtics · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
