After Action Report

The Hawks squeaked past the 76ers 91-87. The 76ers couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Hawks. The Hawks ride keeps rolling — they're catching fire; the Hawks bent the defense out of shape from deep. The Hawks bench chemistry carried them. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
