After Action Report
The Hawks handled the Nets 98-88. Ugly basketball, but the Hawks did just enough. Second-chance points piled up for the Hawks; Nets' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. The Hawks locker room is humming, and it showed. Hawks' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Survive-and-advance type win.
What tipped it
- Hawks · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Hawks · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
