After Action Report
In a track meet, the Hawks blew the doors off the Wizards 129-93. The breakneck pace played right into Hawks' hands. Hawks' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Hawks owned the glass, generating extra possessions. The Wizards looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Never a doubt in this one.
What tipped it
- Hawks · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Hawks · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Hawks · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
- Wizards · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Wizards · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
