After Action Report
In Atlanta, the Hawks survived the Nets 96-91. Ugly basketball, but the Hawks did just enough. The Hawks carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one; Nets' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. The Hawks locker room is humming, and it showed. Early returns: the Hawks per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Style points be damned.
