After Action Report
In Atlanta, the Hawks took care of the Knicks 107-95. Ugly basketball, but the Hawks did just enough. The Hawks owned the glass, generating extra possessions; the Knicks bent the defense out of shape from deep. The Hawks locker room is humming, and it showed. Hawks' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Style points be damned.
What tipped it
- Hawks · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Hawks · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
