After Action Report
In Atlanta, the Hawks demolished the Mavericks 121-87. The Mavericks had no answer for the variance gods tonight. Hawks' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Hawks bent the defense out of shape from deep. The Hawks locker room is humming, and it showed. Hawks' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Garbage time started early.
What tipped it
- Hawks · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Hawks · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Mavericks · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
