After Action Report
The Hawks squeaked past the Knicks 112-111. Hawks torched the Knicks on the offensive end. The Hawks carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one; the Knicks couldn't shake the cold spell. The Knicks looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Early returns: the Hawks per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Style points be damned.
What tipped it
- Hawks · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
- Knicks · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Knicks · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
