After Action Report
In Atlanta, the Hawks rolled past the Knicks 134-100. Hawks' offense had its way with the Knicks. Second-chance points piled up for the Hawks; the Hawks answered the bell with a bounce-back effort. The Knicks looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Hawks' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. It was over by halftime.
What tipped it
- Hawks · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Hawks · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- Knicks · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Knicks · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
