After Action Report

In Atlanta, the Hawks squeaked past the Grizzlies 124-121. Hawks' offense had its way with the Grizzlies. Hawks' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Hawks owned the glass, generating extra possessions. The Hawks locker room is humming, and it showed. The Grizzlies rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night.

What tipped it

  • Hawks · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Hawks · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • Hawks · 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.
  • Grizzlies · Buzzsaw An 8+ game winning streak — they cannot be stopped (until the league catches up).
  • Grizzlies · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
