After Action Report
The Hawks took care of the Knicks 87-77. The Knicks couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Hawks. The Hawks owned the glass, generating extra possessions; the Hawks sent shots into the fifth row all night. The Hawks bench chemistry carried them. Early returns: the Hawks per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Style points be damned.
