After Action Report
The Hawks snuck past the Suns 101-98. Execution down the stretch made the difference. You could feel the revenge motivation from the Hawks; Hawks' defenders refused to give up clean looks. 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.
