After Action Report
The Hawks stunned the Rockets 102-92. Hawks' starting five clicked while the Rockets looked disjointed. The Hawks carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one; second-chance points piled up for the Rockets. On paper this one shouldn't have been close — basketball had other ideas.

- Rockets · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
