After Action Report
The Hawks handled the Hornets 116-97. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Hawks cashed in. Hawks' outside barrage was a constant threat; second-chance points piled up for the Hornets. The Hawks rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift.
What tipped it
- Hawks · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Hornets · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
