After Action Report
The Hawks survived the Mavericks 99-95. The Hawks won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. The Hawks ride keeps rolling — they're catching fire; Hawks' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Hawks bench chemistry carried them. Early returns: the Hawks per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Style points be damned.
What tipped it
