After Action Report

The Hawks outlasted the Nets 97-91. The Nets couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Hawks. Hawks' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Hawks carried the confidence of a hot streak right into this one. Early returns: the Hawks per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Survive-and-advance type win.

What tipped it

  • Hawks · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Hawks · Catching Fire Riding a 4+ game winning streak — confidence is high.
  • Nets · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • Nets · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
