After Action Report
The Hawks buried the Pacers 131-108. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Hawks cashed in. Pacers' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; Pacers' old heads steadied the ship in the swings. The Hawks locker room is humming, and it showed. Tonight's Pacers utilization choices clashed with the team identity. Never a doubt in this one.
What tipped it
- Hawks · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Pacers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
