After Action Report

The Hawks buried the Nets 116-86. Hawks torched the Nets on the offensive end. Hawks' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Hawks carried the confidence of a hot streak right into this one. The Hawks locker room is humming, and it showed. Garbage time started early.

What tipped it

  • Hawks · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Hawks · Catching Fire Riding a 4+ game winning streak — confidence is high.
  • Hawks · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
  • Nets · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
  • Nets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
