After Action Report
The Hawks outlasted the Suns 111-103. Ugly basketball, but the Hawks did just enough. Hawks' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; second-chance points piled up for 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. Survive-and-advance type win.
