After Action Report

In a track meet, the Hawks squeaked past the Nets 125-124. The breakneck pace played right into Hawks' hands. The Hawks pushed the pace until the other side broke; the Nets owned the glass, generating extra possessions. Hawks' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles.
