After Action Report
The Hawks blew the doors off the Hornets 102-82. The Hawks won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. Hawks' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense; Hornets' old heads steadied the ship in the swings. The Hawks locker room is humming, and it showed. The Hawks rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Garbage time started early.
