After Action Report
In Atlanta, the Hawks fended off the Pacers 104-95. Every possession went the Hawks way. Hawks' positional balance gave them a synergy edge; the Hawks couldn't shake the cold spell. The Pacers rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night.
What tipped it
- Hawks · Balanced Five A starting five that covers every position with even talent finds a synergy edge.
- Hawks · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Hawks · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
