After Action Report
The Hawks survived the Rockets 104-100. The Rockets couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Hawks. Second-chance points piled up for the Hawks; the Hawks came in with something to prove after a loss. The Hawks bench chemistry carried them. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
