After Action Report
The Hawks handled the SuperSonics 98-87. The SuperSonics couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Hawks. Hawks' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; second-chance points piled up for the SuperSonics. The Hawks locker room is humming, and it showed. Hawks' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Survive-and-advance type win.
