After Action Report

The Hawks snuck past the Wizards 97-96. Ugly basketball, but the Hawks did just enough. Hawks' defenders refused to give up clean looks; the Wizards pushed the pace until the other side broke. The Hawks locker room is humming, and it showed. Wizards' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Style points be damned.

What tipped it

  • Hawks · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
