After Action Report
The Hawks survived the Nets 108-103. The better team simply showed up tonight. Hawks' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; you could feel the revenge motivation from the Hawks. The Nets looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. The Nets rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Style points be damned.
What tipped it
- Hawks · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Hawks · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
- Nets · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Nets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
