After Action Report
In Atlanta, the Mavericks survived the Hawks 112-109. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Mavericks cashed in. Hawks' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Hawks looked unstoppable — pure Buzzsaw mode. The Mavericks bench chemistry carried them.
What tipped it
- Hawks · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Hawks · Buzzsaw An 8+ game winning streak — they cannot be stopped (until the league catches up).
- Hawks · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Mavericks · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
