After Action Report
In Dallas, the Hawks survived the Mavericks 101-100. The Hawks won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. The Hawks ride keeps rolling — they're catching fire; Hawks' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Hawks bench chemistry carried them. Hawks' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Style points be damned.
What tipped it
- Hawks · Catching Fire Riding a 4+ game winning streak — confidence is high.
- Hawks · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
