104 Celtics, 81 Hawks

Tonight is exactly what I wanted to see, a 23 point crushing. 6 Celtics scored in double figures including KG 16 pts, 10 reb, Paul Pierce 16 pts, Ray Allen 18 pts, Rondo 15 pts, 6 rb, 9 assists, Powe and Cassell each had 10. The thing that sticks out to me is how Rondo dominated the Hawks Mike Bibby 5 pts, 1 assist. The Celtics looked like champions in their first game, and hopefully will continue it on wednseday. Atlanta's Al Hortford had 20 points and 10 rebounds but other than him, the Hawks looked lost and anxious.
