After Action Report

In Atlanta, the Hawks survived the Clippers 123-121. Hawks controlled the tempo from tip to buzzer. The Hawks looked unstoppable — pure Buzzsaw mode; the Hawks pushed the pace until the other side broke. The Hawks locker room is humming, and it showed. Hawks' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles.
