After Action Report
In a track meet, the Hawks demolished the Jazz 143-114. Hawks controlled the tempo from tip to buzzer. Second-chance points piled up for the Hawks; the Hawks carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one. Whispers of a Jazz locker-room rift aren't helping. Tonight's Jazz utilization choices clashed with the team identity. One bad quarter was all it took to crack this one open.
What tipped it
- Jazz · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Hawks · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Hawks · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
