After Action Report
The Hawks snuck past the 76ers 99-96. Ugly basketball, but the Hawks did just enough. The Hawks played with the chip of a recent gutting loss; Hawks' outside barrage was a constant threat. The Hawks bench chemistry carried them. Tonight's 76ers utilization choices clashed with the team identity. Style points be damned.
What tipped it
- 76ers · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- Hawks · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
- Hawks · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
