After Action Report

In Atlanta, the Hawks demolished the 76ers 123-79. Hawks' scorers couldn't be contained. Second-chance points piled up for the Hawks; the 76ers played with the chip of a recent gutting loss. 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.
