After Action Report
The Hawks snuck past the Clippers 117-113. The tempo dragged the Clippers into a rhythm they couldn't survive. Fresh off a statement win, the Hawks stayed locked in; the Hawks pushed the pace until the other side broke. 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.

- Hawks · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
- Hawks · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
