After Action Report
In a track meet, the Hawks took care of the Wizards 99-87. Hawks' offense had its way with the Wizards. Hawks' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Hawks owned the glass, generating extra possessions. Whispers of a Wizards locker-room rift aren't helping. Survive-and-advance type win.
What tipped it
- Wizards · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Wizards · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- 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 · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
