Hawks in for challenge against Celtics (AP)

 
Mike Woodson showed up at practice with a shaved head Friday. Anything to loosen up a team that faces a monumental challenge in the playoffs. The Atlanta Hawks are on the wrong side of what looks to be one of the biggest mismatches in NBA postseason history. After fortuitously making it this far with a record that's eight games under .500, they'll face the 66-win Boston Celtics. [link]
