After Action Report
In a track meet, the Hawks survived the Hornets 125-124. The tempo dragged the Hornets into a rhythm they couldn't survive. Hawks' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; second-chance points piled up for the Hawks. The Hawks locker room is humming, and it showed. Early returns: the Hawks per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Style points be damned.
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 · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
