After Action Report
The Hawks shocked the Clippers 117-110. Hawks controlled the tempo from tip to buzzer. The Hawks answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; the Hawks pushed the pace until the other side broke. The Hawks rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. On paper this one shouldn't have been close — basketball had other ideas.
What tipped it
- Clippers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Clippers · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Clippers · Superstar Stack Two or more 90-overall stars bend games to their will on both ends.
- Hawks · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
