After Action Report

The Hawks demolished the Nets 120-96. The Nets had no answer for the variance gods tonight. Hawks' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Hawks answered the bell with a bounce-back effort. The Hawks locker room is humming, and it showed. Hawks' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. One bad quarter was all it took to crack this one open.

What tipped it

  • Hawks · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Hawks · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
  • Hawks · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
  • Nets · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
  • Nets · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
