After Action Report
In Atlanta, the Hawks squeaked past the Pacers 117-112. Hawks controlled the tempo from tip to buzzer. The Hawks carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one; Pacers' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim. Style points be damned.
What tipped it
- Hawks · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
- Hawks · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Pacers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Pacers · Superstar Stack Two or more 90-overall stars bend games to their will on both ends.
- Pacers · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
- Pacers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
