After Action Report

In Atlanta, the Hawks blew the doors off the Grizzlies 134-97. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Hawks cashed in. Hawks' outside barrage was a constant threat; the Grizzlies owned the glass, generating extra possessions. The Hawks locker room is humming, and it showed. Grizzlies' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. It was over by halftime.

What tipped it

  • Hawks · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
  • Grizzlies · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • Grizzlies · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
