After Action Report
The Hawks stunned the Bucks 103-97. Execution down the stretch made the difference. The Hawks owned the glass, generating extra possessions; the Hawks played with the chip of a recent gutting loss. The Hawks bench chemistry carried them. Hawks' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. On paper this one shouldn't have been close — basketball had other ideas.
