After Action Report
The Hawks pulled away from the SuperSonics 101-86. Ugly basketball, but the Hawks did just enough. Hawks' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the SuperSonics pushed the pace until the other side broke. The Hawks locker room is humming, and it showed. Hawks' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Survive-and-advance type win.
What tipped it
- Hawks · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Hawks · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- SuperSonics · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
