After Action Report
The Hawks blew the doors off the Knicks 122-102. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Hawks cashed in. The Hawks owned the glass, generating extra possessions; the Hawks sent shots into the fifth row all night. The Hawks locker room is humming, and it showed. The Hawks rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. One bad quarter was all it took to crack this one open.
