After Action Report

The Hawks squeaked past the Nets 95-93. Ugly basketball, but the Hawks did just enough. Hawks' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; fresh off a statement win, the Hawks stayed locked in. The Hawks locker room is humming, and it showed. Survive-and-advance type win.

What tipped it

  • Hawks · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Hawks · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
  • Hawks · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
