After Action Report

In Atlanta, the Hawks ran roughshod over the 76ers 131-105. The Hawks got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. Hawks' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the 76ers pushed the pace until the other side broke. The Hawks locker room is humming, and it showed. The 76ers rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. It was over by halftime.

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.
