After Action Report
The Hawks took care of the Knicks 100-83. The Knicks couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Hawks. Hawks' defenders refused to give up clean looks; Knicks' veteran poise eliminated the costly mistakes. The Hawks locker room is humming, and it showed. Early returns: the Hawks per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
