After Action Report

In Philadelphia, the Hawks survived the 76ers 75-71. The Hawks won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. The Hawks came in with something to prove after a loss; Hawks' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense. The Hawks bench chemistry carried them. 76ers' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Survive-and-advance type win.

What tipped it

  • 76ers · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
  • 76ers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
  • Hawks · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
  • Hawks · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
