After Action Report
In Atlanta, the Hawks demolished the Pacers 120-98. Hawks' offense had its way with the Pacers. Second-chance points piled up for the Hawks; Hawks' outside barrage was a constant threat. The Hawks locker room is humming, and it showed. Pacers' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Never a doubt in this one.
What tipped it
- Hawks · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Hawks · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Pacers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
