After Action Report
The Nets outlasted the Hawks 96-89. Nets' starting five clicked while the Hawks looked disjointed. Nets' old heads steadied the ship in the swings; Hawks' defenders refused to give up clean looks. Whispers of a Hawks locker-room rift aren't helping.
What tipped it
- Hawks · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
