After Action Report
The Hawks pulled away from the Hornets 115-96. Execution down the stretch made the difference. Hawks' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Hawks carried the confidence of a hot streak right into this one. The Hawks locker room is humming, and it showed. Hornets' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan.
What tipped it
- Hawks · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Hawks · Catching Fire Riding a 4+ game winning streak — confidence is high.
- Hawks · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Hornets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
