After Action Report
The Hawks survived the Jazz 102-98. The Hawks won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. Hawks' defenders refused to give up clean looks; Jazz's Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. 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
- Jazz · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Jazz · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- Hawks · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
