After Action Report
The Hawks demolished the Pacers 113-78. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Hawks cashed in. Hawks' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Pacers came in with something to prove after a loss. The Hawks locker room is humming, and it showed. Early returns: the Hawks per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Never a doubt in this one.
What tipped it
- Hawks · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Hawks · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Pacers · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
