After Action Report
In Atlanta, the Hawks upended the Hornets 119-108. The Hawks got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. The Hawks couldn't shake the cold spell; Hawks' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. On paper this one shouldn't have been close — basketball had other ideas.
What tipped it
- Hawks · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Hawks · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Hornets · Catching Fire Riding a 4+ game winning streak — confidence is high.
- Hornets · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
