After Action Report
In Atlanta, the Hawks blew the doors off the Timberwolves 130-107. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Hawks cashed in. Hawks' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; 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. It broke open after the break.
What tipped it
- Hawks · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Hawks · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Hawks · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Timberwolves · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
