After Action Report
The Hawks edged the Knicks 108-102. The Hawks won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. Hawks' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Hawks carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one. The Hawks bench chemistry carried them. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
