After Action Report

In Atlanta, the Hawks ran roughshod over the Warriors 130-100. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Hawks cashed in. The Hawks carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one; the Hawks bent the defense out of shape from deep. The Hawks locker room is humming, and it showed. Warriors' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. One bad quarter was all it took to crack this one open.

What tipped it

  • 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.
  • Warriors · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Warriors · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
  • Warriors · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
