After Action Report

The Hawks pulled away from the Knicks 131-112. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Hawks cashed in. The Hawks owned the glass, generating extra possessions; you could feel the revenge motivation from the Hawks. The Hawks locker room is humming, and it showed. Hawks' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles.
