After Action Report
In Atlanta, the Hawks demolished the Knicks 126-96. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Hawks cashed in. Fresh off a statement win, the Hawks stayed locked in; the Knicks answered the bell with a bounce-back effort. The Hawks locker room is humming, and it showed. It was over by halftime.

- Hawks · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
- Hawks · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Knicks · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
