After Action Report
The Hawks blew the doors off the Jazz 144-86. The Hawks got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. Second-chance points piled up for the Hawks; Hawks' shot-blockers turned the paint into a no-fly zone. The Hawks bench chemistry carried them. Hawks' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Never a doubt in this one.
What tipped it
- Jazz · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Hawks · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Hawks · Block Party Multiple shot-blockers turn the paint into a no-fly zone.
- Hawks · Superstar Stack Two or more 90-overall stars bend games to their will on both ends.
- Hawks · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- Hawks · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
