After Action Report

The Hawks snuck past the Cavaliers 105-100. Hawks torched the Cavaliers on the offensive end. The Hawks owned the glass, generating extra possessions; Hawks' old heads steadied the ship in the swings. The Hawks bench chemistry carried them. Hawks' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.

What tipped it

  • 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.
