After Action Report
The Hawks snuck past the Mavericks 117-115. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Hawks cashed in. The Hawks couldn't shake the cold spell; Hawks' defenders refused to give up clean looks.
What tipped it
- Hawks · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Hawks · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Mavericks · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
