After Action Report
In Atlanta, the Hawks survived the Pacers 126-124. Hawks' offense had its way with the Pacers. Hawks' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; second-chance points piled up for the Hawks. The Pacers looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger.
What tipped it
- Hawks · 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.
- Pacers · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- Pacers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
