After Action Report
The Hawks outlasted the Pacers 93-86. Ugly basketball, but the Hawks did just enough. You could feel the revenge motivation from the Hawks; Hawks' outside barrage was a constant threat. The Hawks locker room is humming, and it showed. Tonight's Pacers utilization choices clashed with the team identity. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- Hawks · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
- 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.
