After Action Report
The Hawks edged the Knicks 104-95. The Hawks won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. Hawks' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Knicks came in with something to prove after a loss. Tonight's Knicks utilization choices clashed with the team identity. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- Knicks · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- Hawks · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
