After Action Report
In Atlanta, the Hawks edged the Clippers 104-98. The Hawks won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. The Hawks owned the glass, generating extra possessions; the Hawks played with the chip of a recent gutting loss. The Hawks locker room is humming, and it showed. Clippers' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Style points be damned.
