After Action Report
The Hawks ran roughshod over the Nets 100-72. Hawks' scorers couldn't be contained. Hawks' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; Hawks' old heads steadied the ship in the swings. The Nets looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Tonight's Nets utilization choices clashed with the team identity. Never a doubt in this one.
What tipped it
- Hawks · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Nets · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Nets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
